If you wanna tank you NEED the shield talent and the armor/defence and parry. Don't do so much shocking and get aggro with RockBaiter.I agree. Sharc (level 41) has currently got Restoration talents up to Improved Lesser Healing Wave Rank 5. The rest of his talents are in Enhancement. He handles both melee and healing well. In small noninstance groups against mobs of his level or lower he has functioned well as a combo tank/healer. In an instance he has to do one or the other. The same thing would apply, I believe, to using elemental damage/healing; you need to conserve your mana to keep your party alive. Occasionally some shocks might be of great value, but primarily your mana should go to healing and appropriate totems.

Improved Ghost Wolf is worth having.
