Quor,
There is no la la la can't hear you going on here.
The shaman regulars who you and Theophany are posting against have already heard the suggestions that you guys try to make. You guys point out "hey, you can do this... there are plenty of shaman who can... shaman CAN do well if they..."
These are players who have heard other people say such things, and they've taken the suggestions. They've experimented new specs, new compositions, tried to be creative with their mechanics. They've already taken the suggestions that you've given, some time ago, and found that they have more problems than playing other classes generally.
These shaman regulars aren't ignoring what you're saying. They're trying to tell you that what you're saying isn't new, and it doesn't work out as it seems in theory.
Sinstralis in particular has been incredible in his rhetoric to explain the current shaman situation. I'd suggest to ask in General (or Trade, more likely) in Shattrath on your server one day about the effectiveness of DPS shamans in Arena. It'd provide for you a fairer base for you to collect your opinion on than a few specific shaman who all do well in Arena. (I'm not implying that you WILL find most people QQing about their PvP shamans, I'm just saying that asking in a broad chat channel will have a more accurate pool from which to draw general opinion.)

The funniest part of this entire thread is that posters ask for Quor's and my arena rating on our shamans, yet when I quantify this with a "well I was 1900+ last season on my rogue," it's like I didn't have to deal with other classes as I'm basically told to play shaman at 1900+ or GTFO.
It's not like I ever ran into shamans that got Duelist last season, or anything.
BTW, check out a new friend I made the other day: Windfury.
You'll notice he was a Rival last season, and he's on a 2k rated 2v2 right now.
But shaman suck at arena, how is that possible?
