It's not that MW is bad, they perform fine-ish, but you have 3 healing classes that perform better in almost every situation: resto druid, resto shaman and holy pala.

in terms of performance druid is stronger. Shamans are still very strong healing class both for raids and high M+, the problem is rather in a QoL.

For all the other healing classes, the more you learn the fight, the better you perform but it's the opposite for a shaman - the better your raid execute a fight, the worse shaman perform due to their Mastery. Shamans are awesome on progression - really-really awesome, but after the first kill they are just doing worse with every farm raid. Another thing is a dull gameplay on farm. I switched to Resto Druid in Nighthold though because of two things that are bugging me on shaman: awful ground targeting bug, when sometimes you have to run around and stupidly click on the ground trying to find a not bugged space for dropping a totem or an AoE heal. Well, I was maining resto shaman from Cata, played resto druid as main alt in WoD and Legion and played on easy level all the other healing classes until this expansion. and if you think one is better than the other.

and i guess what im really wondering is what your opinion on mistweaver or resto druid as an alt healer. Well my raiding group is starting to do alt runs and at first i was gonna bring my DK and tank, but ive always been a healer since vanilla and started maining a shaman healer since BC but now i cant decide if a want to play a monk which ive never played or just lvl my druid up as they both to me, in my opinion, are quite different from shamans with regards to higher mobility and not having a reliance on totems for major CDs.
