few quick things to sum up, a- speaking personally, and think its the general idea for most shaman who play highend, that mana isnt much of a concern. id personally take 100ac over 1000 mana 9 times outta 10, so thats why elemental would be better. as far as why death is no good, -3 atk, -3 HPregen, -3 mana reg, -3 endur regen, -3 damage shield, -3 combat effects, -3 shielding, -3 spell shield, -3 avoidance, -3 accuracy, -3 stun resist, -3 strikethrough, -3 DoT shielding, is added to each piece of gear effected by a powersource(taken from duke latan website). those things in bold, will make a HUGE difference. a full set of infusible gear(minus weapons) would be negative 24 to each of these. looking at your magelo, that would leave you with 2 shielding, 14 dot shielding and 21 spell shielding. in normal groups where you dont need to tank as much, or take big ae's, it might be decent, but in raids, youd want something else.
