I think for a Frost Mage it depends on your team really. I can't speak for Shamans though.

If you're running a 1-1.5 healer burst teams then it's a different story then a 2-2.5 survival team.

Just looking at it seems to be an incredibly fun encounter. I'm glad they are taking steps to put the awe-factor back into raiding.

Damage among classes is much more evenly spread I've found in TBC.
