Not to argue with an Implementor, but, harm was not 'ass' as much as you might think.

No, really. It was. There aren't a lot of secrets to a spell that literally has 5 or 6 lines of code.

So the question is, does the new Afflict work as harm did, and affect in the same way, or did shamen lose the ability to harm certain mobs now?

Yup. Shamans can Afflict anything they could Harm. The echoes adjust for the target in certain scenarios, but the underlying mechanics are the same.
