Title, what is your experience so far?

(remember please no intellectual knowledge :) what you have practically applied and works or found not to be working)

Thank you

Never go for spirit if you can get mp/5 - spirit is useful for priests and druids because of talents and things like bonuses on their tier 2 sets. Shamans don't get anything like this so spirit is far less useful. In fact, the only time spirit helps a shaman is if you go without casting for very long periods of time, something which is not really an option as a healer.

i find it better to go with more INT instead of mp5 for dungeons up to UBRS, when fights rarely last longer than 2min. You dont need regeneration if you dont run out of mana ;)

mp5 gets better when fights are longer or when you cant take a break for a drink, in a raid for example. Spirit is not useless, but shamans rarely stop casting and it's difficult to benefit from it.

Even if you stop caating, spirit wont do anything for you unless you are OOC.

Only classes benefit from spirit are priest, druid, mage and warlock

spirit works just fine in combat, as long as you stop casting for at least 5 seconds. mp5 is still the better option in most cases.

Spirit is a nonstarter unless you have the DMF card and understand how to utilize the 5 second rule.

Don't deliberately stack spirit if you can get something better in its place (basically any stat) but i would not go as far to say that its useless.. 8/8 T1 has a ton of spirit, and w/ a darkmoon card is pretty good if you know you wont be using chain heal

Technically there's the Green Dragon Mail set which gives 15% mana regen in combat but no one uses this. You could make a spirit-heavy shaman if you wanted by using 3/3 Green Dragon Mail, Darkmoon Card: Blue Dragon, and maybe a Burst of Knowledge (With R1 LHW and 5/5 Tidal Focus, you could spamheal for free while getting full +healing coefficient and triggering the 5 second rule because you didn't spend any mana). But honestly Shamans don't gear Spirit. They gear mana/5. There was a time when Darkmoon Card: Blue Dragon would proc off of the extra heals from 8/8 Earthfury (where each Healing Wave counted as 3 spellcasts for Blue Dragon) which made spirit more useful but they nerfed Darkmoon Card: Blue Dragon so it wouldn't do that.
