I must say that elemental oath very powerfull talent if you jsut look it from right perspective.

While it is a good chance that Resto and Elemental Shamans will share the same armour pool, there should still be enchants and gems that covers the few missing spell-hit percents. Outside of that, then we have Rings, Amulets, Weapons and Off-hand items that can cover any potential loss. Heck, we can still wear cloth if necessary, and we should not forget a Moonkin with Imp. Faerie Fire.
In short, Elemental Oath is an interesting talent but I doubt it will be desireable in a PvE situation. If you want to reach the spell hit cap, then it should still be relative easy to do so.

One thing that really surprised me is that we got no further pve group/raid buffs what so ever. I think if they folded in a 20% bonus to WoA somewhere, and/or put in an elemental version of unleashed rage with a chaotic skyfire-type crit bonus perhaps, it'd increase elemental job security in a world where moving a Rsham to the caster group and adding another warlock increases raid dps much more so than ToW.

As I mentioned in my first post, I'm also suprised of the lack of new talents that enhance our raid/party support. Of course, you can argue that Elemental Shamans will finally be the ultimate dps/healing hybrid, considering the change to the spell coeffecient of heals and the fact that Elemental Focus now also work for heals. However, my gut feeling is that this will only be noticeable in a 5-man instance.
