I can't help to think this is a slight over reaction.
So last major patch, elemental shammies lost some DPS. Well due to the changes to Water sheild and Lightning overload you got a good buffing in the Mana Regen and Threat stakes did you not?
Can't use an elemental shammy in PVP anymore because of the set changes? Not every talent tree for every other class works either.
Elemental Shammies are in the same position as Shadow Priests. Your DPS might not be the best but what you lack in damage you make up in utility. If your raid leaders can't see that, more fool them

Over, and over, and over, and again. Shaman are fine in PVE, tyvm for noticing. They are horrible in PVP, and that's what the complains are about.

The problem is every patch since 2.0 has hurt shamans somehow. Except for 2.3, which buffed Enhancement. Not that it's easy to play Enhancement well - go to mmo-champion and see how much STR and Crit is on our mail in the new patch (A: None.).

Shaman have big reasons to be angry. But, I think that candid post the other day might just be an open that we're going to see some big improvements soon. I can't wait for that.
