Ok, I killed a bunch of Worg's in Terokkar with +857 Fire Damage spamming Flame Shock only, this is what I got:
588-589 Non Crit
1229-1230 Crit
This is what wowwiki says about the spell that Elemental Shaman's use ~99% of the time in raids, max rank has a 2 second cast time with talents and gets 85% of our Spell Damage bonus so this gem seems to be very good, for Shamans at least

@galzohar, the 5% half cast time gem would cut LB into a 1 sec cast but because of the GCD I'm not sure it's worth it for a Elemental Shaman using the Engineering goggles for example.
