Shaman vs Priest

[aleixst18]

Hello, I would like to know if someone knows how to answer that it is better to cure in raids, heroic... and in pvp, shaman or priest? Thank you!

In PvE it's essential to clear debuffs mostly because of high damage they deal. In PvP you can probably get away with not dispeling them unless you have free time and are 100% HP. For PvE, there shouldn't be any prioritization who should and who shouldn't dispel - it's a job for both of them (from healing PoV).
Hope that answers your question since I found it a bit unclear.

Thanks for your answer, my question was, which was the best healer of the 2, and which was the best to do pvp?

Arena - Priest
Battleground - Shaman
Raid/Dungeons - Both great

Shaman doesn't have fear which can come handy, they have purge and priest has mass dispell.

Priest doesn't have hex which can come handy.

That's not an argument..
