You shoots beams of yellow stuffs at people. Sometimes it makes a cool zigzag line on your screen.

Shamans have the most ultility as healers, in the forms of totems and bloodlust (never heroism, Warcraft III loyalist here) and purge.
We also have some really nice self enhancement abilties, like class only weapon imbues (earthliving weapon) and elemental shields (earth and watershield). We also have realtively heavy armor, plate equivalent when considering the shield we wear.
The chainheal spell defintely is the most interesting heal to look at when cast, it acutally makes a sound like lightning crackling when it hits the target. (healer shamans are shamans that are channeling water based spells, their counterparts channel lightning and fire based.)
The whole 'master of spirits and elements' fluff is also interesting to me.
We defintely have our niche as raid healers, no other class can equal the hps of a chainhealing shaman in 25 man raids with the possible exception of a good druid. Although we can single target heal, it is pretty obvious with our talent tree (stuff like ancestral awakening) that we were meant to raid heal.

Love the utility. The instant cast Riptide and accompanied HoT. The animation of CH and the fact we can heal 'areas' of damage which other classes just can't pull off with as much efficiency. Love getting 13k crit heals too. Especially the NS macro which makes it instant.

Alot has already been said here, and much of it is the gospel of the Restoration Shaman. One thing I would like to add is that Shamans accomplish so much with a very simple toolset. We don't have the vast array of heals that Druids and especially Priests have, but we show them that we don't need them. Simple tools for a simple job.
Add to this our longevity (If I had a gold piece for every priest I had to watch go OOM in the middle of a boss fight), the very tight synergy of our toolset, and an edge of your seat experience that requires rapid and continuous changes in casting, and you have a spec and class that hold a very special place in my heart.

Eating a big sandwich and spamming chain heal in a group full of melee dps.
I once cut a steak into a few pieces with one hand, and healed the Keristrasza fight in H Nexus with the other, space bar jumping and everything. (Pretty sure I should have gotten an Achievement for it)

Which do you think sounds more indicative of a horrible violent death?

That awesome Chain Heal *crack of thunder* sound.
Watching all the noobs reading the recount healing charts crap mud pies (healing done I only lose to druids, HPS I win every time, also usually dead last on overheal).
The versatility.Think about it. Earth Shield (very disc priest-esque), a heal-over-time, effectively two instant heals, a mid-come-fast heal, a large heal, and a raid heal. Bam, all bases covered.
Ability to remove poisons, diseases AND curses, AND PURGE!
Bloodlust.
Edit:
Superior mp5.

What do you like about shaman healing?
Assigning every key on my keyboard to chain heal, falling asleep on the keyboard, and topping the heal charts.
