That's sort of an odd cooldown for Lava Burst. You'd think it would be 6 or 12 seconds, to accommodate either strictly FS spam from the enh shaman or a FS/ES rotation. There's going to have to be some interesting theorycrafting going on to determine whether it's better for rDPS if the elemental shaman consumes the Flame Shock DoT every time their LB CD is up and FS is on the target, or if it will be better for them to use a 10- or 12-second rotation, consuming it just before it would be reapplied. (10-second being in the case of the extremely likely-looking elemental subspec.)
[e] I'm actually starting to think that the ideal DPS rotation for an elemental shaman would be something like a 9.5 sec (unhasted) rotation, of CL/3LiB/LaB. With latency, it would probably end up being closer to 10 seconds, but is enough shorter that a 10-second FS/ES rotation probably wouldn't end up lapping it. Obviously holding off on shocking to Stormstrike now and then will screw this up, but it sounds good in theory. Of course, this belongs more in that thread...
