Original Post:
I have only read the first two pages of this really but just wanted to throw some things out there for discussion.
Enhancement shamans biggets weakness has always been there instant mildly controlled burst damage. which has huge ranges. Pre TBC it was the number 1 thing that killed me. Post TBC though I believe that the threat mechanics of a enhancement shaman can be controlled. you bring up that through the current 5/4 it allows a quad wf ( if I understood it right) through duel wield. Now the shaman can control the extreme burst by switching the encahnts on his weapons. But turning this ability on the enemy in pvp tio me seems completely acceptable.
I say this mainly because unlike pretty much everyone else we have no cc so a insain burst dps is what made shamans a threat in pvp. we might not be able to stop you from attacking us but if we get close to you it might be over in 2 secs has always been even in my eyes.
Currently I am using a two hander for instances because it has a high dps out put with wf but with the slower weapon swings I can monitor what I am doing a little better and allow me to cut attacks a little easier. but allows a shorter return on shamanistic rage.
Basically my arguement will stand at. If you want controlled somewhat stable dps in raids and 5 mans you can do what all damage classes do and scale down or buff yourself so that you cant easily cross aggro thresholds. But for pvp we liek every other class should be allowed to throw ever single piece of damage out that we can.
A semi fare trade in my eyes would be if you stamp a manditory 3 sec cooldown on wf procs perhaps we should get a 25% 3 sec stun on SS. maybe reduce the nature boost down to 10%
But then again the change to SS would seem a nerf to some and overpowered to others. so I would just say leave everything the way it is and leave it to the players to control there aggro and not blizz.
