I notice whenever anyone wants a healer these days, they're always asking for either ToS or PoM.
Why don't people like Bear Shams? What makes them inferior choices to the two caster-healers?

They are not. It's the healer I most like to have in group on most of my characters since I like my melee toons best. BS offers great (the best) weapon damage buffs and have access to all possible physical debuffs which makes them the most valueable asset in a mostly melee group.
When people only ask for a pom/tos it usually is a group that wants two healers and already has a bear shaman.
The only other reason I can think of why a group could ask for a pom/tos and won't take a BS, is if the other 5 members of the group consists only out of necroes and DT's in which case a they are better off with a pom/tos. In any other case a BS is just as good, if not better then the other two healers.
Well that's good to know! I was worried they ended up on the bottom of the pile after revamps and such - glad to know they're still awesome.
