It's scaling. The more +dmg you have, the higher your bonus. At 1000 +dmg, you'll get 150 extra +dmg. At 2000 +dmg, the bonus will be 300. At 3000 +dmg, we're looking at 450 increase. I personally am assuming around 2000 normal in WotLK, so that's still pretty damn decent.
Anyway, let's combine two ideas above: Vernichter stated:

1) Change Totem of Wrath to an Earth Totem.

Lucy(tron) added:
-The lack of talented raid utility that allows other people in the party and raid to appreciate and support your talent spec.
-The lack of an earth totem for spell casters, ensuring that you actually want to place out all 4 totems, instead of just 3.
|
What if we combine this with flametongue change? Totem of Wrath to earth school, Flametongue totem functions the same for all party members at, say, 30% value of the personal weapon boost. There, an elemental shaman now gives 3% crit, 3% hit, 201 +dmg and 50 mp5 total or 3% crit, 3% hit and 100 +dmg more than nonelemental shaman. Plus, the change scales with gear and caster shamans get 4 useable caster totems.

-The WotLK talents that push us to the 20 yd range, when we most likely will be grouped with 30 yd casters that want our totems.

I don't really consider this a problem if we can use enhancement's charges. If we can't, though, it will be an issue. What I find lacking is 30 yard Lava Burst range as opposed to 36 yard Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning ranges - This means Storm Reach is effectively useless for us in pve.
Additionally, a few spell details are known:
- Hex lasts 8 seconds (1 min cooldown),
- Lava Burst has a travel time similar to Lightning Bolt
- Spirit Wolf is summoned (targeted ability) and pops up a pet bar.
I'm adding this to the first post now.
