One of his mains is a Shaman, and it's pretty well acknowledged that they do mediocre at best across the board, save if you're Resto for pewpew Chain Heal.
Thing is, our mediocrity used to be balanced out by the fact that we gave uber and unique buffs to our parties. However, Blizzard didn't like that, and now buffs have been proliferated. What was once a Shaman-only ability can now be done alternatively by Death Knights, Hunters, and Paladins. Our damage has not been increased enough to cover this loss of utility, so you're basically just like everyone else. Only you do less damage.
