I haven't played a Bear Shaman, but I believe they generally heal better the more they melee, so this might be the one you're looking for.
Both PoM and ToS are great fun from my experience. I highly recommend you try them out. PoM may be more interesting since ToS is basically spamming 1-2 nukes for nearly your entire leveling curve.
And as for PvP, none of these three classes is going to be 2-shot by the "stealth" (AKA, lazy asshole class designer bullshit to pander to the ganker kiddies) classes like the clothies - not to mention that everybody on your team will love you and you can "save the day" many times over - so you'll have a lot more fun there as well. |
The Bear Shaman is very much like the PoM, in the way the more they heal the more they do damage. For example, the PoM and Bear shaman have almost the exact same feat. The more Wave of Life the PoM casts, the more damage their nukes will do for a short time. The more Blood Flow the Bear Shaman casts, the more damage their melee hits will do. Both stack up to 5 times and every recast refreshs the entire timer so it's easy to stack up to 5.
They are both more group friendly than the ToS, imo.
