Did you know that the Shaman Tier 10 armor is the only one without a preview on either Blizzard’s or the MMOChampion site? I’m beginning to feel slighted. I imagine that the Shaman armor designer is stumped trying to top the Rogue set’s helmet. The conversation probably went like this:
Armorer: What about this? The helmet is, like, a giant plume of water. Yeah, a plume. It’s shaped like an ostrich feather, and it’s continually waterfalling over the player’s head.
Doubter: Waterfall?
Armorer: Yeah, totally. It’s like… water, you know? That’s elemental.
Doubter: It isn’t, really. Water is a molecule. It’s made of elements, I suppose…
Armorer: Right. And not just one feather. It should be a bunch. Maybe a whole bird on their head.
Doubter: Wind isn’t though. Nor are fire and lightning, for that matter. Those things aren’t elements.
Armorer: Ostriches are kind of dull, actually. Ok, picture this! Peacock feathers! With the eyes and all. A whole peacock’s worth of waterfalling feathers sprouting from their head. Oh, I can see it now. That Rogue guy won’t know what hit him!
And so can I. Counting down to the big reveal in 10… 9… 8…

You poor thing the anticipation must be driving you mad! I don't know if seeing the druid one straight off the bat was a good thing or a bad thing, to be honest I believe it just horrified the other classes with dreaded anticipation.
Do you want to hear something really crazy? One of the rogues in my guild thinks their tier 10 is really cool. Yes he is male (I guess I can forgive him for his bad taste!)
Rogue guy: See, the big green hole is symbolic of Rogues as a whole. It's green to indicate poison. The negative space inscribed by the hole symbolizes Vanish, and it's in the middle to indicate how central it is to the class.
Starting to wonder if 3.3 will make it to live with no shaman t10 at all?
It would be kinda funny if the set was on the theme of 'the emperor has no clothes" where equipping it was just like being starkers - stats with no artwork at all.
