around lvl 70. But how useful are they as main healer in instances
(heroics/non-heroics) and maybe later raids at this point of the game?

I've had a *GREAT* run in one of the Auchindoun heroics (Halls I
believe it was) with a resto shaman healing. So I'd say they can heal
just fine. How easy they are to gear up to healing that well, I have
no clue however. I just know that it can be done. : )

I had been suspicious about shaman healing abilities because a resto
shaman with +1500 healing couldn't keep me alive in heroic SP boss
fights. Yesterday I ran two heroics with another resto shaman who had
+1100 healing. He did amazing job in heroic SP and BF instances. We
didn't even have the nature resistance buff for the last boss of
heroic SP (the event before the boss fight was bugged for some
reason), but that was no problem although we were receiving lots of
damage.

That sounds very promising. :)

Shamans are very good healers. Resto specced you can heal everything, non
heroics and heroics. Start collecting your heal-gear, when you hit 60. As a
shaman you should concentrate to get a lot of gear with +mp5 and +heal. In
pre karazhan and pre heroic content you should aim 100 mp5 while casting and
about 1100 addheal. You can also wear cloth items, when you don´t find any
mail. But get mail as soon as possible and use a shield.
As a shaman-healer use healing wave or chainheal, not lower healing wave
because it costs too much mana. You should also downrank your healingspells
(for example use rank5, rank7, rank 9 and max rank). In instances keep
watershield on yourself and earthshield on the tank, then there shouldn´t be
any problems.
As for raiding, we have at least two resto-shamans in the raidgroup (hyial +
black temple), so you should be able to find a raid if you want to. I think
good healers are always wanted ... :)
Hope i could help,
Kai

My shaman has no problem healing any of the 5 man instances on heroic or non
heroic. Obviously it depends on the rest of the group, and the tank's gear
in particular, but that's the same with any healer.
In karazhan our ideal group is three healers (One priest, one shaman and one
druid) of different types. Their heals work differently and it's a lot
harder with for example two priests and no shaman.
In the 25 man raids, resto spec shaman are quite in demand mostly because
their chain heal is a very efficient way of healing large numbers of people
quickly.

I will say thanks for all good answers. I will look forward for leveling
up my shaman. And also I will wish you all a happy new year. :)

Another question:
Which build is best for leveling up my shaman?

Till 60 and BC-Content i would recommend the enhancement tree.
From BC on, when you can do lots of instance-runs you can respecc to resto.
So you can practice your healing skills.

Thank you for your advice.

Enhancement + enough resto to heal in combat while mops hit you :-D
If you're used to playing a caster char. then Elemental will work too,
and it's rather good for PvP.
Compared to my Priest or Druid I think Shamans sucks both for healing
and dps. It is however the most versitile char in the game, when it
comes to grouping. Learn to play it well, and you can persume nearly any
non hardcore tanking role, if you got the right equipment.

I'm moving my horde characters from EU Bloodscalp (PvP) to EU Stormrage
(PvE) atm. If you are starting at either or those I can help you to a
good start (at Bloodscalp I got friends who are willing to help)

Those damn mops, they should be back in the closet where they belong!

I am a shaman, and I play William Shatner. :)
My resto shaman will main heal anything, anywhere, anytime, and he's
fun to do it with too. I haven't actually had a chance to raid with
him but he's been healing instances since cutting his teeth on the
role in many Scarlet Monastery runs. My latest personal achievement
was healing a heroic BF in my completely mediocre blues and greens
(yes greens! level 59 shoulders and blue bracers from Strat!). My
performance wasn't flawless (that second boss encounter was a
terrifying journey through OOM-land, just like he was in regular BF)
but we got it done.

After level 33 I started speccing Resto specifically to fill the group
healer role. I'd say it's almost never too early to spec for the role
which you ultimately want to play. You'll be a seasoned instance
veteran by the time you hit end-game. Solo-wise resto doesn't make
for very quick killing but it's doable. I do try to group as much as
possible though.

Green items are underrated. My bal druid usually does between 30% and 45%
of group damage in heroic instances and I easily outbeat mages with twice
as much dmg bonus as my druid thanks to my relative high spell crit rate
(28%). I still wear 4-5 green items, 1 purple (trinket) and the rest is
average blue items. :)

Exactly... I just haven't come across a better piece of gear for
those slots for +healing, though they do lack other stats. Right now
I've got about 1100 +healing fully buffed and a big enough mana pool
for most fights with a competent group. Did normal BM for the 1st
time just a bit ago and again there were no problems.
Eagerly awaiting patch 2.3.2 for the Water Shield buffs!
