Rewards are more than before
It is well-known that the incoming influx of gear and how current itemization affects shamans. Other than that, you can get Alliance shamans this week when you can race change to a dwarf. Maybe you do not like gear lists but you can point out to others once in a while that with Patch 3.3 coming close, you are effectively at the end of kal online geons and thus all sorts of new loot will be entering the game. Loot from the new five mans with good quality. Rewards are more than you can get before.
