I have seriously considered rolling a BE pally (mainly for arena pvp) instead of my shaman. Earth shield is just fantastic (along with NS, and all the other healing goodies, shamans seem better suited for healing than pallys). Basically, I would give up better healing and dps for survivability. I wonder if paladins can even keep up with the healing at 70 in the arenas.
Thoughts?

I was actually thinking shaman would be slightly disadvantaged healers because of survivability issues, and the fact they have some extra utility things to do (shock, totem), while paladins can mostly just heal. Anyway assuming Light's Grace, you do have 2sec spells that land for 3500 with decent gear at 70 - that's pretty amazing burst healing. And you are still the only healer that can choose to avoid focus fire for a time. So yeah, I think you could keep up pretty well. They each have different strengths.
Edit:
For gear and stats, at level 70 I'm still wearing mostly Redemption, so my healing HP is pretty low - like 7000hp/7600 mana. Full ret gear I'm at 7500hp/4750 mana, and tank gear 7800/5000. That's all without talents for +Sta or +Int and no buffs.
