Eyonix from Blizzard posted a thread discussing possible changes to the Shaman class.

After having spent some time reading through the various threads in this forum, I took note of some of the reoccurring questions that were presented, and discussed them with members of our development team. Below is the information that I was able to gather from my meetings, emails and phone calls. Please note that this informaton isn't a comprehensive list of question that have been presented, and I will see what I can do about providing additional information for you in the future. Please feel free to post your feedback. Enjoy!
