Do Shamans have a place in end game content?

[Delc]

Lately I've been thinking of what characters I should solo up to eventually see some end game content. I'm sure we've all heard that the pure classes are what is wanted there. However, lately I've heard that paladins and druids also do well in end game content which is unusual, and nice, to hear about hybrid classes. The one class that I haven't really played much has been the Shaman. From what I can tell they have alot of promise but would it be worth levelling a shaman only to find that he has no place when I get there?

What are your opinions?

The reason you don't hear much about shaman is they don't really bring anything unique that you need to the group. Resto shaman make excellent healers, elemental/enhancement shaman make excellent dpsers, but really if you don't have a shaman in your group you don't lose anything terribly important. This doesn't mean shaman are useless though. A well played shaman is still an asset to the group.
