blizzard has removed the ability for other things to proc from themselves before so even if it manages to make it past release it will eventually be caught and fixed.

War Tools :: Talent tree WotLK - Test

assumptions:

* rogues will prefer GoA over WF thus leaving the arms warrior as the only WF preferer meaning they lose 4 to 1 in a standard melee group.
* twisting is removed from the game.
* enhancement shamans will be able to be hit capped in melee and have a med-high (8-12%) casting hit rating due to hit rating changes. similar story with crit rate now on shocks through melee crit gear.

the build i'm anticipating being cookie cutter but with some freedom in elemental tree with the 2 points in warding and 1 point in focus. i don't see unless lava burst is huge dps why enhancement shamans would interrupt their melee to cast a 2 second shock so the lava burst talent doesn't look appealing. if this changes to instant cast 3/3 Call of Flame will be mandatory and shocks will change to FS/LB leaving the SS debuff for elemental shamans/boomkins or your lightning shield procs through static shock.

skipped ISR pvp toy very minimal pve usage. elemental focus should take care of our mana problems.

one thing i do worry about is with shocks becoming a higher % of our dps due to moving to elemental subspec and gaining more hit and crit from rating changes is our threat since spirit weapons does not reduce casted threat. just a guess here, but i'd say our threat will go up by at least 5-10%. more shocks, more hit/crit, unlimited mana, no twisting to interfere with shock timing.
