Even though druids are, IMO, better at tanking, better healers, and better at soloing elites, I enjoy the fluidity of my shammy more than the fractured playstyle of the druid. There's something about having to shift between forms that really bugs me sometimes, and makes me feel like I'm playing three mini-characters rather than one full one.
Interesting summary, because the Brady Games WOW Guide comes to exactly the same conclusion. Quote from the introduction of the Shaman guide section on page 147:
Brady Games Official WOW Guide Wrote:... Shaman are able to fill many roles and may seem similar to Druids at first; yet, the differences between these classes grow with each level as the Druid becomes better able to focus on any single role at a time and the Shaman becomes more of a blend. ...
