I read the stickies, looked through talents, and couldn't find any sort of answer...
Do we have any sort of use for spirit, other than out of combat regen?

Even out of combat regen is useless to us. Just stack the MP5.

That is what I suspected. Thank you both for your posts.

Spirit is worthless to a shaman (of any spec).
Pretty much the only thing needed to be remembered in this case.

g) Spirit-
Increases five second rule regen. In most cases, this stat by itself is completely useless for shaman.

The only useful thing about spirit for shamans is the 5 second rule and even then it's considered a useless stat. I wouldn't put any stat weights on spirit. Just ignore spirit and look at the other stats.

so what exactly is MP5? mana per 5 seconds right?
Yes. This would be an example of gear with MP5:

MP5 restores mana at all times (during combat & out). Spirit restores mana when out of combat ONLY. So you can see why MP5 is much more valuable than Spirit.

Spirit is really only useful to classes that have abilities and/or talents that use the stat to increase their "mp5", sp, etc.
Example Abilities and Talents:
Resto Druid
Arcane Mage
Shadow Priest
Disc Priest
Warlock

Thank you all for your posts.
I believe there should be a talent implemented, maybe to Earthliving weapon, that takes your spirit and changes it into mp5...that would certainly help. Right now self buffs im at 406mp5, would like to have more ofc.

Look at the second number, not the first number. :o You want mana regen while casting. There's no way you're at 400 mp5 while casting. :o
Example, click my profile. Under spell it shows I have 334 regen while not casting and 253 while casting.
The first number is irrelevant, the second number is your mp5 on the shaman forums.

You are wrong. Spirit restores mana during combat.

Yep, Spirit gives out of 5 second rule regen. Once you cast a spell, count five seconds and you will regen the amount listed on the first number. Mp5 regens while you are casting.

No there shouldn't. We are not designed to use spirit - we are designed to use replenishment, mana refunds and mp5. Any addition of spirit to our class would reduce all the other stats that are more important, sp crit haste intellect, as well as result in a widespread nerfing of our existing mana regen mechanics.
Paperdoll mp5 is almost virtually meaningless. I have 223mp5 and heal Uld25 and Uld10 hard modes without any worries over mana.
