then your missing out on a huge part of shaman-dom. Hots wont CH a tank with a 3k hitter, but in mpg (/yawn) they will "freeze" his hps, and probabaly increase them. i main heal tons, and hots are a huge tool, especally when multiple folks are being hit, hot tank, blast the silly rogue, back to tank...or drop an epic click and SS on tank and got afk for 40 seconds during the fight and come back to him with full hps.

using blast heals for hours wastes lots more mana than using SS, mana that could go to malos, dots, nukes or panther/champ. and yes, i have wissliks, anguish gloves, max healing aa...wissliks is not win, its nice, but ineffective without a hot in place. especcially in "real zones" like main healing dod spell missions, where mobs hit for 1300ish, cause lets face it, mpg is soloable...

hots have saved my group hundreds of times, thats why our epic is so nice to have. lets not forget hot stacking, epic, anc aid, SS...is a ton of healing for your group and tank, makes the difference of wiping to a train or wrecking that train

eh to each his own, but a SS makes that fast drop in hps stop. plus it stacks with epic, making it a potent heal. different way to do the same thing. but really its not the issue here. a group hot would allow you to drop 1100ish group hot out, before anc aid, vastly increaseing our healing ability, exspecially on raids where we are a groups only healer with large AE's and ae-ramps.

some dictionaries have no reference to th plural form, others say shamans...so i stand corrected, but i think it sounds funny with the s

I think part of it is that some Shamans play so very well - and brag about it - that people (even some devs) believe we are overpowered, and when faced with a choice of looking at all these boring numbers (and having to verify them independantly), or reading an exciting story about some Shaman soloing Woushi or Zelnithak, well... there you have it.

Gawd, I never thought about it like that Scowls but I think you're right. I usually malos on inc, balance, then sisslak, blood, and canni or refresh buffs. I think I'm gonna pay more attention to how long my dots actually last, and how much damage they actually do next time I'm grouping. Maybe look at using some nukes or rains more frequently in high dps groups.
