Depends how they are played. Full resto healing the dps during a raid with all +healing gear on? Yes they do rock.
Full enchancment cause they think they can be the next Unbreakable shaman? Meh, you ned to know how to play a class in order for it to pwn ***. I hate the ones that kite, same with kiting druids, grrr!

First of all, i beat shamans so that crosses that point off your list.
Second, very few raiding guild(pre 2.0) would take a DPS shaman instead of a healer just for their dps totem(i forget the name). They would rather have a mana tide totem for healers.
Druids can tank very well but in raids it takes them a lot longer than a warrior to gain aggro at the begining. For healing, priests are the born-to-be best healers with +healing gear and mana regen gear. As for dps, its the same thing with a shaman, most guilds would want a healing druid(with the most HoT's out there) than a player that cant reach a rogues dps.
Classes were made for their main duties(healing, tanking, DPS)but in a PVP point of view, all classes have a way to pwn ***, but only if, as i said before, they know how to play thier class.

Not quite true. Warriors have -40% Rage, Druids didn't get nerfed on Rage, they got new damage skills, and their Feral Power has increased by a large margin.
In total, they do a great deal more threat and have more armor; the problem is Stamina and not having a shield to block.
Crushing Blows and Critical Strikes would knock a Feral Druid tank borderline to death, and healers can't deal with that.
Note that if you're geared in Naxx and tanking MC, then you can survive these blows. Don't expect to tank Naxx though?
You don't need Naxx gear to tank MC as a Druid, just the best gear you can get up to that point and some competant healers.
I have seen plenty of videos with Druid MT in MC.
Anything higher than that though, you better have one AMAZING raid group.

Shamans are no longer overpowered, IMO. They are one of the more balanced classes.

Exception being Windfury.
Resto: We rock as healers, but in resto I notice huge mana deficency and it's rather annoying.
Enhancement: If you know what you are doing, you can win a lot of times...just like any other damaged based character
Elemental: I love the crit amount, how I like never run out of mana, and how I can kill fast. Only problem is I have to tank Warriors, and Rogues I just cannot take.
Conclusion: Nope shaman isn't overpowered. Currently I'd say Warlocks are overpowered, only cause they always own me though, I'm sure they have their own weaknesses.

Not with a nerfed AP, and 20% chance to hit.

The current "over powered" classes are hunter, Warlock, and restoration spec Shaman. Hunters are over powered for there DPS, Warlocks are over powered for deathcoil and damage from dots, and restoration shamans are overpowered there new skill earth shield for its effectiveness against melee classes and (too a lesser degree) hunters when properly geared.
I hope this helps answer your questions and then some.

If we're gonna count overpowered as impossible to kill, put in a resto specced druid - too. Took me and a priest about four minutes to take one down in AV, yesterday.
EDIT: Then again, they can't actually hurt you, except for punches. But, damn, they have a cool dance.
