They are looking at the Shaman now

[Lissa]

I don't know what kind of raid guild you are in, but Shamans are there to HEAL, not take unnecessary damage by being in melee range or wasting mana throwing shocks around. If the raid has too many healers, you bring less healers and more DPS; you don't add gimp DPS by having healing classes start whacking things.

I call BS on this one. Our last MC run, we had about 6 total Priests in the raid, 2 healing Druids, 3 or 4 Paladins, and stuffed to the gills with DPS. We completed MC, from first pull to downing Rag, in just under 3 hours. Give us a little better gear, and we'll be looking at 2 hours.

And by the way, during that run, there were a number of comments on TS coming out of priests like, "HOLY FIRE!" When priests start saying things like that, it means they're bored because there's not enough need for healing. Hell, the only spice during that run for healers was when we ended up with 2 dogs, 2 giants, and a surger and we still made it through that without wiping.

If you're running BWL like you indicate and are decked out, you don't need that much healing as you seem to think. You also have other ranged spell attacks besides shocks that should be a little more efficient in nature.
