Shamans are a lot of fun. I really love all the hybrid classes. I've never gotten one past level 20 but I like mine so far. It's a lot like playing my druid only they're not as extreme in their stats in any given role, but they can switch more easily between them. I think the reason I prefer druids is because they can play just one role extremely well, but switch between roles each time they change forms (and clothes). I actually really like being depended on in instances, and I love being able to take over for any group member that needs to be replaced. And I love when someone yells "LF3M Healer, DPS, and Tank" and I get to reply, "I just happen to be a healer, dps, and a tank."
