Understanding Shaman and Evolved Shaman

Well, I'll get straight to the point after showing the differences in skill. 

Evolved shaman :
Freezing Flame
Deals moderate damage and either burns your foe for damage over time or freezes your target in place, stunning them for 4 seconds. Effect increased by Elemental Grasp.
Notes: AoE attack, hits 3 targets in range. Cold Burn DoT effect lasts 4 seconds (2 ticks)

The regular shaman just simply fires a pretty actually worthless fireball that does nothing and the effect can only be used if hydrophobia is used. This fireball does about the same damage as the regular shaman, except with way more effects. Stuns, damage over times. The stun is VERY useful, imagine stacking that move over and over again on a boss, its like hes not even attacking. The DOT is also very useful Ranging usually at 400-500 max. You can do over the 2000's, but that's just a setup that takes a while, so pretty much that's useless. 

Evolved Shaman 2nd skill
Furious Gale

Deals heavy damage and reduces enemy haste while increasing yours for a short time. Effects both increased by Elemental Grasp.

This skill is most likely similar to dry lightning. Allow me to clarify, that the damage for this skill isn't heavy at all. It SUCKS. Dry lightning is far a better skill in damage, you can do 2k dmg without elemental embrace and using dry lightning. Furious Gale however, just forget it. Even with elemental grasp on effect 2k dmg is almost the max. However, this skill has a buff and de buff, this skill can be very useful in soloing for evolved shamans. More haste for the player, means more mana returned. Less haste for the monster means more survival for the player.

Evolved shaman's 3rd skill
Refreshing Rain

Casts a Heal Over Time on yourself and nearby allies. Heal amount is increased by Furious Gale.
Notes: Heals up to 4 friendly targets, Heal over Time lasts 10 seconds.

Ok this skill is EPIC. Compare this to hydrophobia, a garbage heal for the old shaman class. It's WAYY better. Heal over time is 10 seconds, which means theres 5 ticks. So if the tick for example is 60. Then 300+ the heal instantly returned when this skill is casted. The heal is usually about 350 when this skill is casted. So take it like this, 300+350=650. About 650 heal for ONE player. Imagine that with example 4 players. 650x4=2600 heal for the entire team. A MUST use skill in soloing. 

Rank 4 passives, nothing to talk about. 

Elemental Grasp=Same thing as elemental embrace. 

Rank 10 passive
Elemental Storm 

Small chance to greatly increase the power of an AoE ability.

This skill is something the regular shaman doesnt have. I'm a rank 10 evolved shaman and I have never used this skill yet, but IMO, it can probably boost the power of a skill alot. Maybe the 400 dot becomes 1000. Who knows.

After this long explanation, I'll say.

Shaman: A high damage dealer, cannot solo, nor cannot heal. Bad mana regan. Need team help to survive all the time. can deal crits over you can imagine. 

Evolved Shaman: Great team support, can solo efficiently, Cannot deal high damage. Can heal pretty good for the team, can stun VERY nicely. My record was 5 frozens in a row. That monster didn't even touch me before I destroyed it. Has a nice buff and debuff. better mana regan that old shaman. Usually relies on freezing flame for damage. 

I hope this over through helped.
