And this is the first reason I told you to go back to the Druid boards... you are obviously lacking in your Shamanistic know-how.

No, just doesn't have the same ring to it. The way you talk, you're of the impression you own these boards. Just a gentle reminder: you don't, so stop telling people who offer an opposing point of view to go elsewhere...take the argument and take your lumps and deal...you don't need to tell people to go away unless you've got too much of your ego invested into the argument.
You're arguing the same points back and forth...over and over again. It's the same as what happened in the thread I chimed in on. All anybody seems to want Shaman to do is to acknowledge, without qualifier, that if Shaman are given a CC of their own or a snare remover, it will come at a substantial cost. We already saw that in Shamanistic Rage for Enhancement Shaman and what did we get in return? Insta-cast ghost wolf which, while certainly nice to be able to cast on the move, is functionally useless. Every time I try to use it to get away, I'm nailed by one purge after arcane shot after devour magic after blah blah freakin' blah after another. Throw in that Shamanistic Rage is no longer dispelable, but cut the duration in half...steep, steep price. 15 seconds is about the longest it takes if I'm wearing a shield for a Rogue to stunlock me to death, or a warrior to hamstring/mace proc/charge stun/intercept stun (I love how the little @#%^ers actually hamstring me, run to intercept range and intercept me just to **** me off) and spank me for easily twice the damage I'm capable of putting out (ate a 5k Execute the other day...that was hawt).
Everything we got as Enhancement Shaman came with a price in one way or another. We weren't "given" anything...we were traded for a bit of a boost here and there. So people here are occasionally saying, "Right, yes...snare removal or some form of CC...are you prepared to pay for it?" Rather than simply say, "Yes...give it to us at any cost and let us play around with it and if the cost is too much we'll get back to Blizzard" it's gotta be the endless circular argument that kinda sorta touches on the cost but if you bury everyone in enough bullsh*t they might forget that you agreed to it blah blah freakin' blah....
In short, keep it simple. You don't have to pound everyone into 100% submission, and you sure as sh*t don't have to tell them to go away when it becomes obvious that you can't.
