Shamans

Basic Information from Blizzard regarding Shamans: Shamans are the spiritual leaders of their tribes and clans. They communicate with spirits, have visions of the future, and guide their people through the darkest of times. Many mistake their wisdom and serenity for a pacifist nature. When challenged, though, shaman have a range of powers available for dealing with threats to the natural order. The Shaman is a secondary Healing class (to the Shaman) with a fun assortment of spells and options. The Shaman is especially liked by party members for its Healing and beneficial totems. The Shaman has up to four types of totems: Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. An important part of playing the Shaman is figuring out which totem is best to use in each situation. The Shaman is similar to a Paladin without as much armor.

Valid Races: Orc, Tauren, Troll, Draenei

The TenTonHammer take on Shamans

The Shaman is a class capable of engaging in combat on its own (while not as effectively as a warrior) but is still able to make use of supportive magic such as rebirth, which acts as a resurrection spell.

Shamans also maintain an array of offensive magic to make their adventuring careers a bit more varied. Thus you have a class that has many abilities but does not directly excel in one type of abilities.
