And, depending on who you're asking, raid instances are, too.

I agree with lfd; Shamans are a hybrid class - if they are better than the class that they're emulating (Warriors, Mages, or Druids, depending on which skillset you're using at the moment in question), then you have a major balance issue. They aren't as good as Druids at healing, aren't as good as Mages at magical DPS, and aren't as good as Warriors at melee combat, but they can heal (which neither Mages or Warriors can do), nuke (which Warriors can't do), and still be a force in melee combat (which Mages can't be.)

I would think Mages need a review before Shamans, because magic damage is all Mages are - if they can't do this consistently and efficiently, you have a completely broken class, versus a slightly impaired hybrid.
