well, I got a question.
when I started playing, I made a druid, leved it to 55, and made a DK (as most new plp did when wotlk came out) so far I loved the DK class, but the problem is that few others do :(
even when I'm 80, and I busted my back doing heroics and getting rep rewards to get ready for raids, I get rejected in every single raid.
my friends leveled to 80 at the same time as me, and while they have cleared naxx and OS; I've only been invited to vault.
there is a huge hate for DK's out there, and while I don't understand the reasons, I want a new class to be able to raid.
my question is: are shamans wanted or acepted in raids?
I have made a shaman, and I plan on making it enhance one for lelveling, and at 80 dual-spec into resto or elemental, since most raids are done mostly by ranged DPS, plp take few melee now a days.
are elemental shamans aceptable in raids? are restoration shamans a desired member of any raid?
what I don't want is to take the time and effort to level a new toon, get it to 80, gear it with heroics emblems and rep items, only to be rejected at every raid again.
on the oficial forum for shamans I saw several posts of qq shamans, and by their reaction is like the end of the world for shamans, they were like nobody takes elemental or enhance shamans as dps or resto shamans as healers.
I sure hope I'm not wasting hours and resources in this new toon, cuz all that effort in the DK was in vain :( plp in a very rude and impolite way say no no no and no to me when I ask for invites to 10man naxx or even 10man OS.

Most guilds/groups like good players despite the class. Good not only means you know how to play your class, but you're also not an ass or an annoyance. Blaming your lack of progression solely on the class you play seems flawed.

I'm actually very profesional when I play, polite, I always ask before hitting need on any item (even if I'm the only one who can use it :P) and of course I can play my class well enough.
on more than one ocation, some plp had told me "is not you, is your class, while u are a good player, plp just don't like DK's in general, just like hunters, cause the vast majority of bad players use those classes"
so there it is, but enough with the DK's, this is about shamans.
shamans are acepted? ( and by accepted I mean more than 1 shaman, cuz boodlust/heroism can only be used once per fight, and the totems don't stack, so having just 1 shaman can cover those needs)

It really all depends on what the guilds on your server already have a plethora of and what they are hurting for. By the time you get 80 from level 1 that will be totally different from what it is now. So it's all a crapshoot. Odds are you can find a guild that will take/need any class you have. But then again it all depends on the "class climate"™

Well my 2 cents worth... on my server its good players that are taken on raids etc. I as a resto shaman (very good one i might add lol ) have no problems getting a group for anything, thanks to wotlk and the mass amounts of aoe raid healing is our thing ) I can also single target heal not as well as a paly or priest but i have no complaints. I am dual specced as ele as well and as far as getting groups as dps ive not found it to be a problem either, i lvled as enhance till about 75 i knew i was going to be resto at 80 so at 75 went ele and started gathering gear. My advice is lvl your shaman hit 80, wether you heal or dps dont matter you will do great in either and the totems you bring are just awesome! For me there is not another class i love more sucked till i hit lvl 40 but from there i melted face, its a game have fun, learn your class read about your spec and excel ! )

I have a DK alt that I dinged to 80 a few weeks ago, as I raid with the shaman for the guild, I easily pugged Voa, Os10/25 and Naxx 10, and did a few quarters of naxx 25 with a pug too. Either you're playing your class really badly or perhaps there are simply too many DKs on your server, I'm not sure, but you could always think about a transfer if that's the case.
As a resto shaman I am always in high demand for any raiding situation, but like anything, you need to play your class well to be guaranteed an invite back.
Guild wise I think a lot more guilds have spots open for Shaman than DK, and if you can get into a raiding guild you should have a lot less stress finding groups.
