To get back on topic, I was just suggesting that Elementals would not have to respec for different fights just to heal. They can off-heal quite capably. While an Elemental Shaman is no Resto Shaman, a Cat Druid is no rogue, and if people are fine with the latter in exchange for flexibility, why not the former?

Good point, though I feel this is a strength of all Hybrid specs.
TBC and Shadow Priests got Vampiric Touch and Misery, increasing their raid popularity. WotLK and Balance Druids are scheduled to get Nature's Fury, Improved Moonkin Form and buffed version of Improved Faerie Fire talent, plus they will also be able to cast Entangling Roots indoors and have the cooldown removed on Hurricane. I think these changes should make Balance Druids very popular.
I've the opinion that Elemental Shamans, Shadow Priests and Balance Druids are sharing roughly the same characteristics of being ranged dps and healer hybrids, and thus they should also bring roughly the same impact to a raid. This is my reasoning why I feel that Elemental Shamans could use one or two talented raid/party buffs.
