I'm dissapointed.

So they want Elemental Dev. to be a hybrid talent? Fine, with the ratings change it might be usefull for our melee brothers.
Still a bunch of no good talents.

Other thoughts:
A 2 sec stun on fire nova? Ain't gonna help elemental to get away.

Lightning Mastery is still gimped, T6 talent for only -.5 cast time?

Elemental Oath seems pretty useless, you ought to be hit capped anyway, that occasional 1% (assuming it ignores the 1% "miss" cap") ain't gonna help anything much.

I don't know exactly how Astrall shift would work but to me it seems that you rarely get critted twice in a row (Yes I know it will probably ignore resilience, but still), thus making this a lackluster talent.

Storm Earth and Fire makes me cry a little on the inside, what did they smoke when they made this up? I don't see how anything of this is gonna help anywhere except the ES change when interupting spells in PvP, 30 yards (with pvp gloves) sure seems nice, but only a 25% chance to root, on a 6(5) second cooldown on such talent so high in the tree.

Thunders seems able to compete with NS (restoration 21 point) for PvP, so no complaints there, this can't possibly be our only means of restoring mana though, so for that it seems weak.

Other remarks:
Still no pushback resistance, nor AoE. I really hope to see Forked Lightning as a trainable spell.

Totems still needs an overhaul, and some talents needs improving.

Lightning Mastery could give Chain Lightning a X% chance to Daze the target for ~5 seconds. Giving Heroic Strike/Steady Shot a small boost in PvE, and giving us a PvP boost.

I also don't see how they could make Elemental Oath work, as the Clearcasting state already reduces the mana cost, it would perhaps give some haste?

Elemental Percision giving 30% -threat makes me think, does this mean we can actually pull aggro in wotlk? Because out threat scales very poorly at the moment thanks to our overall poor scaling, making this a feat in our current situtation, I have a good feeling about this.

Also I'm curious about Lava Burst, does it have a cast time? Does it have a cooldown? (I bet the answer isn't no on both), is this the new nuke, or some sort of "new shock". I don't see how throwing instants (with a short range) should improve dps, making me a little confused on how the Flame Shock consuming is supposed to be synergy between Elem and Enhance, the Lava Burst enhancing talents are way to far down to make it a spell primarly meant for enhancement.

EDIT: I was also expecting a little more synergy, some debuff or other buff uniqe to the Elemental tree, making our presence in raids more important. Yet nothing has happened here, the "new" Curse doesn't even include Nature damage.
EDIT2: Sorry if it seems I'm just complaining, I'm a tad angry, it hurts me seeing the class(and specc) I love so much receive so little love.

I'm a shaman, a conduit of the ancient forces of nature. A master of the elements, except fire, water or earth really... nor do I have any REAL control of nature. But I do hurl bolts of lightning!
