Spellemental is pretty cool. Has some tempo, has some board clear, has some value generation, has some damage from hand. It lacks draw, obviously, but between overload and discover it's generally not hurting for resources until very late. No healing, which is really just an issue against spell mage right now (hopefully a big nerf makes that go away). And then it lacks the ability to build a sticky board, but that's pretty much every deck in the meta right now.
I don't think it's gonna be a great deck, but it has transform effects to deal with Pally and taunts + AOE (handles those 3/1 stealthers pretty well) to fight Rogue. Wouldn't shock me if it were a playable deck post-nerf.
That assumes that Tickatus won't be playable post nerf. I would be really surprised if Shaman found a way to deal with Tickatus.

Unless Blizzard gives draw to Shaman, it is going to suck.
