Resto: Shaman or Druid?

Hello ladies, gents, pumpkins and ents,

I have a bit of a struggle… back in tBC and WotLK I played resto Druid and I loved it: mobile, barely out of mana due to lifebloom stack procs and stuff, however, now I struggle. The mobility is still the same, but the mana is a big issue for me - I guess it gets better with better gear (around 180 atm), although I’m a bit lost. The innervate is literal garbage compared to its formal self and I really miss the mana recharge option it had before.the hots give freedom and mobility but I am constantly in fear that I have only one “omgsh*thitthefan” button in the name of swiftmend.

Strangely enough I didn’t like shamans back in the day because of their huge mana hunger. But as I lvl one now and do dungeons, I barely have to stop whereas with my Druid i was dry all the time no matter what lvl. Also shamans tend to be better at crappy situations when the tank gets a slap and poof, 80% health is gone.

My question is: if I’d like to do mythics later and raiding and just not to be worried about the numbers, should I stick with Druid or the Shammy is better?

Thanks in advance!
