better for what?

Boomkins have an amazing dance, and for that reason alone I favor them over an Elemental Shaman.

Neither get all that many raid spots.
From my own experience playing both, I've found balance druid to be better in BG's but elemental shaman to be better in arenas.
Of course with skill and gear, you can do almost everything. Except heal on a warrior.

The only problems ,which i can see in being druid is absence of abilities like Elemental mastery ,Grounding totem and Earth shock.
well that's expected. if a druid had abilities like elemental mastery, a grounding totem, and a 6 second cooldown interrupt, we'd literally be the god class.
what you are forgetting is what a balance druid offers to a raid.
a balance druid brings an extra innervate, an extra battle rez, a -2% hit debuff (which is like your tank having 2% extra dodge), a 5% spell crit aura (great for mages, destro locks, pally healers, elemental shammies, etc.), a very useful AOE (slow attack speed), and very high dps (if you have the gear)

look at who's at the top of the dmg meters
and for PVP...
you're a plate wearing mage with an awesome dance. what else is better?

Not that the wow forums have anything useful on them. However, there are quite a few arguments for and against both.
Just realize, they're completely different classes with completely different roles. Play what makes you happy :)
Agreed. Plus you have to remember you posted this in a druid forum, chances are druid's are going to sound better, because druid's are answering... nategrim had a nice reply, just playing what he feel's.
