So let's crunch some numbers on the different possibilities:
Assuming 2000 +dmg and a base coef. of 0.71 (2.5/3.5 - This isn't true because of the bandaid patch.)
a) 15% More total spelldamage
2300 * 0.71 = 1633 additional damage per LB
b) 15% More scaling
2000 * 0.86 = 1720 additional damage per LB (equals 422 additional +dmg @ 2000 base)
c) 15% More +dmg from X +dmg provided by Flametongue
for 1.15X to be greater than the bonus from option A, X has to be greater than 260.
Assuming X is 150 (seems like a reasonable amount)
2172 * 0.71 = 1542 additional damage per LB. Making it 15 additional damage per LB more than untalented.
It's late, I'm tired and math may be flawed. Option B is clearly the better.
Option C feels rather weak, unless they really buff Flametongue Weapon in wotlk, making it give about 300 +dmg, but then other casters will complain about us getting a free super oil.
I feel option A is the most plausible not only in terms of power but also because of the wording.
