All in all, it's a buff to elemental shamans in 5v5, as we stay at 100% uninterruptible and gain the reduced totem GCD.
The set bonus should really be put back up to 70% though (if not 100%) as elemental shamans are really still quite ordinary in 2v2 and 3v3.
And yes, there was talk of what shamans were going to receive in return for the EM+NS nerf, things like the flametongue buff that got fooled around with, but nothing was put in concrete.

Don't understand exactly what you mean by staying at 100% uninterruptible. Not really my experience..
I think it is very telling that the Elemental PVP thread is, what 3 pages? There is just so many problems to overcome and so easy for so many classes to shut us down that it is very tough to be viable in 2v2 and 3v3. Until Blizzard decides elemental should be a viable PVP spec (from posts about Spriests that may be never) we're going to continue to be in trouble I'm afraid.
