Yeah.  Either, though.  I've seen almost no shamans since the xpac.

I think alot of the shamans have died out. Tuesday night Exodar was full of em, now I usually see them in the East Kingdom, and they are susally withing 4 + - my lvl 31. At this time. I dont plan on lvling moy rogue and just focusing on my Shaman.

Yeah shaman pop is decreasing slowly, although the only draenei I see are usually shaman. I think after a majority of people get their mains to 70 more draenei will be popping up. Dont think very many went my route and played an alt constantly instead of lvling their main.

Shaman have always been a fairly underpop'd class from my experience. A lot of people roll them thinking they're uber powerful, and when they hit the 30-50 grind, they find out that they really aren't. Pre-30, I think shaman are probably the most forgiving class to play. You can destroy, you can heal, you can escape, you can really do just a bit of everything. Post-30, things really slow down.

Another reason for this, I think, is the fact that shaman are pretty overwhelming to play as they get higher level. Yes, you do have a tool for just about every situation in the game (except removing curses... dang warlocks!! ;)), but that also means you have a ton of options that you have to account for in order to maximize your class. The same thing happens to rogues--rogues are fairly common, but finding excellent rogues that really know how to use the class to its full potential (such as those in our guild) is really, really hard.

I'm not ever going to claim expertise on the shaman class, but as someone who enjoys having tons of options and tactical choices, the class really appeals to me. It would be really nice to have stealth, lockpick, safe fall, and a stun though. ;)
