you're wrong man, it is, it's probably your setup with the bot that aint correct.
I can count the times on my fingers that I had to do something to help the bot,
with his profile.
I know from own experience that instancebuddy mixed with questing works very good as an elemental shaman,
and if you get dual-specc you can pretty much use the same gear for elemental and restoration all the way to atleast 80+.
