Now once again with a 2h shaman you would have more time to heal yourself but also be taken a huge amount of DPS on yourself. But also remember earth shock, stomp(tauren) is also another + 2 stoping a healer quick. From what I've done with a 2h in the past, a healer stood not too long 2 heal much :{D
This is not "the past" though. A 2H
doesn't put out a "huge" amount of DPS, or at least the amount of DPS it does put out is less than what a dual-wielder is putting out.
Enhancement Shaman kill healers by grinding them down with high DPS, constant Purging, and interrupting heals every time your Shocks are off cooldown. Infreqent Windfury procs/crits off of a two-hander are just not as threatening as they used to be. Resilliance has taken a lot of the bite out of crits' bark, and even healers just have a ton of HP anymore.
Steady, reliable, high DPS > higher but infrequent and random burst DPS.
