Tuskar Totemic was mediocre when it came out.  Totem shaman was like a tier 4 deck, crap you play for fun.

So skip turn 4 to play a 4 mana shadowform.   Yah, I am sure you won't get tempo'd out like crazy!  I mean shadow priests do it all the time, while only skipping turn 3, and they have amazing board clears (unlike shaman),  Yah that will work...

Overload is a great mechanic if it's designed on cards well like Totem Golem and Lightning Storm.

Those who think that overlaod is fine are dumb.

Look at the shitty card we get for the shitty draw back we get.

Its not even value : lava burst - 5 mana - 5 damages. How bad is that ?

Better than Warlock, whose cards get "minimal advantages" for unpropotional downsides most of the time.

 most of them, except Doomguard and Flame Imp those two got a good tradeoff, also Soulfire to some extend.

That's the class mechanic Blizzard decided to give to shaman.. there isn't much you can do about it.. and a 2/3 taunt is 2.5 mana worth so it's equal to 5 mana it's a great card if you want to stall.

Um, the term "Dragon Consort" is derogatory toward those within the asexual community that identify as Dragon Aspects. Check your privilege. 

This is not comparable. The way retarted is used to describe Huntards strongly implies negative connotations in means to belittle the person playing a certain deck or class. Consequently, a person using that phrase implies that being retarted (in the classical sense of having an intellectual disability) in socially bad and undesired. Now this is not very fun to read if you suffer from an illness that could be described by that term. It's rather more comparable to the N-word that has ages ago has been frequently used in everyday language to belittle a person of a certain ethnicity.  Today, that word is socially unacceptable due to the negative connotations implied within it, which is a very good reason.

I personally do not think we should ban the word, but I hope that its use eventually waters down. To say that people are just being overly sensitive is a bit of a bad argument, unless you yourself do suffer from a mental illness and have inside knowledge of how it feels to be on the receiving end. I mean, you wouldn't have told a colored person they're being overly sensitive if you use the N-word in a negative way in their presence and they do take offense.

OP bring up an interesting subject but I think that this is not the right type of forum to discuss such a deep linguistic and social issue as most responses will be quick and defensive. I also had hoped he would have exteneded his argument and added some actual points.

That being said, I found an interesting social studies article about overuse this very phrase, which I suggest you read if you're interested :) http://www.academia.edu/477376/The_Uses_and_Implications_of_the_Term_Retarded_on_YouTube

Mech Shaman looks like fun deck and I was wondering why there isn't more of it at the moment. Considering Mech Mage is some-what playable, why is Mech Shaman not on the same level?

I play since Nov 2014 and this game is getting worse continuously. I think TGT was the worst expansion, since it just enlarged the difference between the already good classes (warrior, druid, paladin) with the far weakests ones (Priest, Shaman, Rogue).
Why? It added to some (and it is the break) existing decks the exactly extremely powerful cards they lacked, such as "Living Roots", "Darnassus Aspirant", "Bash", "Justicar Trueheart" (for paladin and even worse, warrior), "Murloc Knight"; and nothing to what were good decks such as Mech ones, Control Priest, Oil Rogue, even Handlock and Zoolock.
This, in addition to the new insane OP cards and the old ones that weren't removed (Mysterius Challenger, Dr. Boom, Mad Scientist, Tirion, Antonidas) , made the game just unplayable.
The result? A meta-game infested of Secret Paladin, Control Warrior and Combo Druid, the most frustrating OP decks to play against in the game's history. Think a second about that, new decks are infinitely worse than old decks. It would be a nice dream to play against Mech Mage, Tempo Mage, Zoolock, old classic Paladin, Mech Shaman, classic Priest, classic Rogue, and even Face Hunter or Patron Warrior!!
So, what's the worse part and why i am uninstalling? Because there is no feedback from Blizzard to player's claims, and the changes (in the case that exists) may take months.
It's really sad to think how HS became this, and that will be really hard to repair the damage done. I wish Blizzard react and can save this, and I (and a lot of other players for sure) can come back.

Nice one! :D

Cogmaster's Wrench is a rogue card. The paladin card you are talking about is Coghammer

Why not both?

Well at least it's better than Charged Hammer...

that is the bad thing. If it was 4 mana weapon with 1 mana overload it would be much better,

 Worth the price??

if i will play hunter i'd love to see shamans face going into my taunt misha. Wyrmrest Agent, Armorsmith, Frothing are 2 drops. Clearing 2 drops on turn 5 feels bad man. Making 2 swings to clear single minion is suicidal. Basicaly the cases you described doesn't make sense except Flamewaker and Blackwing Corruptor (still corruptor will have it's battlecry value and deal 5 damage to your face which is huge, same as heckler)

4 damage is bad. The only good target besides 2-3 drops for it is Azure Drake. Emperor Thaurissan, Sylvanas, Druid of the Claw, Ancient of Lore, Tuskar Jouster, Sunwalker (probably return in standard), etc. The 5 damage mark is a LOT more valuable than 4. People compare it to Death's Bite but forget that the second swing of Death's Bite actualy deals 5 damage with deathrattle whirlwind which is a HUGE difference bro's aswell as a 1 less mana cost. That is a big deal to kill belchers, thaurissans, etc with one-shot. I bet you will often see how Shaman's will need that 1 extra damage after using this weapon.

I'm not saying though it's bad. The deathrattle effect is realy good. You remove enemy minion with weapon and instantly gain a threatening board presence for free (4 damage minion is great).

Overal very nice hammer.
