Priest vs shaman healing in bg's

[Hashnochange-thunderlord]

Shaman or Priest?

I know I want to main a healer and I’ve narrowed it down to these two. I’ve played both a lot since Wrath (when I started) and I enjoy both equally. Assuming that I’ll roll Horde so both are available and will be wanted. I’d love some advice from the vanilla vets as to which I should I go with?

Priest or Shaman

Im debating whether or not to level a priest or shaman for healing wpvp… Any ideas?

How do Shaman compare to Priest

I’m leaning more and more towards Shaman, but I feel like it’s inferior in every way to priest. I’ll be worse at PvP than a SPriest, and I’ll be worse at healing than a Holy Priest in PvP or PvE. But I just love the utility of the class and the lore. I just never played a priest in vanilla so I have no frame of reference.
