Actually when you get down to it, we have more gear sets than shaman and just as many as druids. Like druids we have 4 viable specs; Heal, Prot, Ret and the hybrid holy spec commonly called shockadin. To perform optimally each requires different gear.

Enhancement set, PVE: Check.
Elemental set, PVE (and PVP): Check.
Resto set, PVE (and PVP): Check.

That shockadin set is no different than a PVP set of us.

Either way, Shaman are in much of the same waters as a Paladin. No HoT, Instant is on a CD (Or is ES and vulnerable to a lot of counters). We also have long cast time for group heals making them horrible in arena as we also have a single school lockout issue.

I'm in a lot of badge gear and will continue to be as the itemization on DPS mail is for hunters.
