9.5 sec rotation:
CL/LiB/LiB/LiB/LaB

The reason I suggest the 9.5 second rotation is a vague attempt at maximizing rDPS. Most enhancement shaman will likely be going with an elemental subspec in WotLK if things remain more or less as they currently stand (spell and physical crit rating merge, and Elemental Devastation in the first tier), which means we'll be using 10-second shock rotations as the norm instead of 12. Allowing Flame Shock to tick to the third of four ticks (the enhance would refresh it before the fourth tick anyway) before consuming it would allow for higher rDPS potential on long fights. Of course, this won't be perfect, because enhancement shamans will no longer be able to have perfect 10-second cycles due to 8-second Stormstrike, but it might work. Thoughts?
