A thought keeps popping in my mind while playing Namaqua, why am I not primarily Elemental? The only time I'm going Resto is to run a random heroic, of which I've only done one since dinging 90. The rest of my time I'm in Elemental. That includes scenarios, leveling and the couple of guild runs. I would estimate 95% of my post-90 time so far has been doing DPS.
So, let's look at the pros and cons. One big pro is the amount of time I spend soloing. The stronger I can make my Elemental spec, the faster I can quest and more DPS I can supply to groups. I can also then focus on one gear set instead of having to do a little of both. On the other hand, I really like healing, especially on the Shaman. The other thing to note, I swithched to Feral on Bobbylou and have pretty much stopped playing him. Yes, I leveled him as far as 86, but after I decided Druid healing wasn't for me, the toon lost a lot of it's appeal.
So, while I doubt I'll give up healing yet, it is something to think about. After all, it's holding me back. I guess I could go back and level a hunter, warrior or warlock. (Each has crossed my mind.) I just can't imagine starting over with leveling right now, especially as all DPS.
