Post Patch 3.3.3 MOAR HASTE!
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnot ... notes.html

Shaman

  • Flame Shock: The damage-over-time component of this ability can now produce critical strikes and is affected by spell haste.
  • Talents
    • o Elemental Combat
      • Elemental Oath: This ability is now always on as a passive aura.
      o Enhancement
      • Unleashed Rage: This ability is now always on as a passive aura.

Scanning the glyphs, the current glyph of Flame Shock has not changed yet. However, glancing over at MMO-Champion and we find that it has in fact changed.

Glyph of Flame Shock - Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your Flame Shock periodic damage by 60%.

So n ow our Flame Shock can crit, deals 260% damage on crits and is affected by haste. why are my pants missing?

Seriously, this is awesome guys. Note that the haste change will significantly change elemental rotation. The haste reduces the time a dot lasts, but doesn't increase the number of ticks. For example, if your dot lasts 12 seconds and it deals damage every 3 seconds, you get 4 ticks. Get 50% haste and your dot lasts for 6 seconds and has 4 ticks at a tick every 1.5 seconds. So now you're casting the dot much more often. I don't know about you guys, but I'm thinking sexy.

So basically, the "elemental" totem is still the best for all three specs from what I can tell. Which is kinda silly, but still awesome. Assuming haste will be as godly for all 3 specs as it would appear.

Elemental totem or elemental tree? I think enhancement is still providing solid results. I'm not sure though.

that totem jsut makes the flame shock more sexy. The biggest compliment to the flames shock is the glyph though. It increases the time that your flame shock is active. I don;t know how long though. I actually like the glyph more from the perspective that it gives me the ability to trigger 3 Lava bursts(?) [it's 5 on my bar] instead of 2 and saves me a cast.
