Shaman Site

I stumbled across mention of a shaman site while reading blogs this morning.  Sadly I can't remember who mentioned this, but it looks like a great shammy resource.  It's been added to the Shaman Tab and also to the Favorite Links.

Tanking as a Death Knight/Druid/Paladin/Shaman/Warrior

Big Bear Butt mentioned two sources of information on tanking as various classes on his blog today.  Here are the direct links--first to Brokentree's comparison of now death knights, druids, paladins and warriors tank.  He's played them all and this looks like an excellent resource as it has casting rotations.

Secondly, to a video of a shaman tanking Lord Marrowgar in Icecrown Citadel.

Shaman Healing Guides

Thanks to an article at Restokin about her resto shaman alt, I've found two good sources of information for shaman healers.

Seventeen steps to mastering shaman healing (November 2009) written by a resto shaman.
http://www.shieldsup.ch/2009/11/17/mastering-shaman-healing/

A guide to playing a resto shaman (May 2009) for those starting at Level 80.  It covers spells, stats, talents, mana regeneration, addons, gear, enchants and gems, and helpful links.

Power Auras (Addon) UPDATED

Although the Power Auras addon isn't just for hunters, this article at WOW Insider points hunters to the Huntman's Lodge blog to find tips on using it.
http://www.wow.com/2009/11/19/more-power-auras-tips-for-hunters/

Here is the direct link to the article, which has tips, a downloadable copy of the writer's UI, and explains how to use Power Auras when a hunter.
http://huntsmanslodge.com/4353/hunter-power-auras.htm

WOW Insider also mentions Big Red Kitty's article for them about using Power Auras.  Here's the direct link to it.  Note that BRK's movie is gone from WOW Insider and also from BRK's blog.
http://www.wow.com/2009/02/01/bigredkitty-power-auras/

There is a video download link on his blog, though.  You might still be able to download it.  I didn't test this.

UPDATE:

Enhancement Shaman Stuff (EnhSim and Buff Effects)

Big Hit Box has two articles up of interest to shamans.  The first explains how to use the Enhancement Damage Simulator which apparently is a favorite addon tool of shamans trying to figure out how to get the most DPS possible.  This thing is also known as the EnhSim. Search on that term to see more articles about this tool.
http://bighitbox.com/index.php/2009/09/this-is-how-you-sim-it-baby/

The second article analyzes the effects buffs and debuffs have on enhancement shamans in raids.

Power Auras Addon Review

No Stock UI looks at how Power Auras Classic works in raids to make a player more aware of all that is happening around him/her. Basically you program the auras you want to track and specify visual cues for each. You'll see lots of examples of how this works with the writer's restoration and elemental shaman characters.
http://www.nostockui.com/2009/07/food-before-flowers-power-auras-classic/

Note that there are a lot of links to Power Auras here. Use the search box at the top left hand corner to find all the blog entries on this topic.
