Saying, "That is best spec to raid with." is not only purely opinion but completely unsubstantiated. You provided absolutely no argument for your chosen spec. I am confused why you would take 5/5 convection and 3/3 unrelenting storm. It is my opinion that these are not terrible talents to max out, rather if you need them both maxed your play style is terrible. How many fights do you stand in one place and not move the entire fight? Make use of that time to Thunderstorm and get 2k mana back. Start doing this at about 90% mana and then again everytime CD is up and you are moving. If you start getting low on mana, stop using CL if it's a single target. It's DPS gains over LB is minimal anyway and with the right glyphs combined with 4pc T8, the gain is only gonna become weaker.
Here is what I raid with:
The World of Warcraft Armory
2 things I take that are different are Instant Ghost wolf and Improved Fire Nova Totem. There are alot of fights you can mount up for now. (Malygos, Razorscale, Freya, Sartharion, etc) You never know when Instant ghost wolf will come in handy. This is purely optional, however and these 2 points could be spent anywhere else you like. Improved Fire Nova Totem, however, I believe every raiding Ele Shaman should have. When used properly on fights like Deconstructor, you can solo an entire side of adds on your own. Drop Earthbind to root them, drop Fire Nova Totem, Thunderstorm (they won't knock back because they are rooted), at this point the nova totem will burst which will stun them, drop magma totem and begin Chain Lightning the remaining down. Again, this is an optional talent and you could use the 2 points somewhere else.
A lot of Ele Shamans like to put a 2 or 3 points into Elemental Warding. That's fine too, not a terrible talent, however, I believe that if you feel the need to use this in a raid, maybe you should look at getting new healers instead. It's not gonna make that big of a difference in the damage you take anyway and should you die without it, you more than likely would have died with it too.
So, my entire point here is that you can never say that one spec is
the best spec because there are always other options to consider. Also if you are gonna make a statement like that, you better explain why you believe it is.
EDIT: I also looked at your armory page and you appear to like using some mp5 gems in your gear. I realize these are there to fulfill the meta requirement, however there are other options you could have taken instead. It all leads me to believe that you find yourself having mana issues in fights and should re-evaluate your play style.
