Totem of Wrath (Thumbs Up)Elemental Shamans increase SP by 10% and dont need ToW to be down we can have Any Totem down and still gain the 10% SP Buff. I personally Hate Losing my SP Bonus when i pop Magma Totem on Trash to AoE (But we will still have the 3% Crit Bonus? or is that being Taken away from the Totem because our Mastery Increases Crit?) Overall (Elemental Point of View) (5 Thumbs Up - 1 Thumbs Down And 1 Question Unanswered (About Totem of Wrath 3% Crit Going or Staying)) Elemental

Spell Damage (Thumbs Up)For Obvious Reasons

Spell Crit (Thumbs Down)Frankly because we dont need more Crit (We gain 3% From Totem of Wrath and 5% More From Elemental Oath) Give us a Spell Haste Upgrade Not Spell Crit

Elemental Overload (Thumbs Up)we already get this to sometimes Proc our LB or CL but it would be kewl to Proc it on LvB

Unleash Weapon – Flametongue Weapon (Thumbs Up) I Like the Instant Moderate Fire Damage (Prolly be equal to Flame Shock Initial Damage when Applied) but the Increase Next Fire Spells Damage by 20% is Going to Be Kick Ass for our Lava Burst

Spiritwalker’s Grace (Thumbs Up) Because i hate When my DPS Gets Lowered Because i have to move out of fire or do something to stop my Channeling.

Totem of Wrath (Thumbs Up)Elemental Shamans increase SP by 10% and dont need ToW to be down we can have Any Totem down and still gain the 10% SP Buff. I personally Hate Losing my SP Bonus when i pop Magma Totem on Trash to AoE

(But we will still have the 3% Crit Bonus? or is that being Taken away from the Totem because our Mastery Increases Crit?)

Overall (Elemental Point of View) (5 Thumbs Up – 1 Thumbs Down And 1 Question Unanswered (About Totem of Wrath 3% Crit Going or Staying))

If yes, enhansement will be running 2 rotations at once, 1 elemental and 1 enhancement! Will instant spells be useable mid-casting with grace?

As many who play Enhance Shaman know, in a boss fight, our rotation is bloody frantic, With more spells this could mean we will need too get rid of a spell from our rotation, such as in VH hc when im at 11k+ nuke burst mode, i eliminate Flame Shock, love too see some more Enhance Shaman opineons, Overall, its a turn for the best, And tyhe new spells are original, which i like very much, Jasper.

I have two shaman and have each spec represented, if it's not apparent I love the class. Each spec is undergoing a few changes and deserve to be addressed accordingly. As far as resto, healing rain.......AMAZING! The only part of druif healing I love is the visual effects of tranquility, now we have an extremely helpful heal other than chain heal. While I will miss the ability to cleanse poisons I feel it adds a new aspect to CC and brings back a part of the game WoTLK is missing. In reference to elemental.... why, oh why must we always be forgotten? While earthquake is a.... suitable answer to our aoe damage, our single target dps is still being glazed over and forgotten. Now to my favorite, enhancement. This spec is sooo fun to play post lvl 40 and now with primal strike it will be bearable to play again (pre 40). Now to what I would love for them to do, I am with Roodcow on this one, the original idea was a tank spec... so just do it already. Add a spirit of the ancestors talent that increases defense, if they are re-doing all the trees it would be a perfect time to do so. All in all, I am very happy with the changes and excited to see them in action. It seems we are sticking to our namesake... jack of all trades and master of none.
