They are looking at the Shaman now

Although, as long as whoever is working on the shaman isn't the same folks that screwed up the pallies, I'll be happy.

Agreed. I think the talent trees are mostly fine as is, though there are some glaring problems:

Improved Strength of Earth and Improved Grace of Air need to be... improved. Both aren't quite powerful enough for the points required, and GoA being a 30-point talent is ludicrous.

Improved Stoneskin Totem needs a major improvement, and should perhaps be bundled with an Improved Windwall Totem talent.

Stormstrike needs an improvement; it costs too much mana, and the only real forms of Nature damage are Lightning Bolt (a 3 second spell), Chain Lightning (a 2.5 second spell), and Earth Shock (an extremely inefficient spell.) Fire damage would seem more appropriate, since you have various Totems, a weapon buff, and Flame Shock to choose from.

Eventide, Improved Healing Stream Totem, and Improved Mana Spring Totem all pretty much suck, but (with the exception of Healing Stream Totem) they're a necessary evil if you want the superb Mana Tide Totem. It'd be nice if you didn't feel as though you were completely wasting your talent points in order to get the one talent you actually want.

I've played main healer (with our priest playing shadowmage for the most part, amusingly enough) with my guild's three-man group in all of our instances up to SM Armory (the priest and I are still a couple levels too low for Cathedral), and am quite happy with Shaman healing so far.

EDIT: Left out Improved Grounding Totem, which literally doesn't do ANYTHING, since the totem is destroyed during the act of absorbing a spell. Sure, it can absorb SOME spells and remain around, but those are very few and far between, and sure as hell not worth two (or even one) talent point.
