Like 5 posts above this is my threat to give a, "very mean infraction" to anyone who bragged about their smart idea to spec BT + MS for huge burst or, in your case, "ftw". I totally warned you.

Original Post:

I understand the rage gain factor, and I realize it can be amazing for 3's, but I am assuming you're talking about double healer 3's. I've run Shaman\Druid since early season 2 and that has been my glad team, and 33-28 was far superior. I can see if you know the team doesn't have a disarm, how 41-17-3 can be just as good even if I may not agree. He may have gone that spec for the finals knowing the opposing team wouldn't change comps.
Shield reflect is very RNG based IMO. At times I reflect everything and other times I reflect a dot and I die. I manage generally to land on the better of those two worlds, but it is pretty discouraging when you don't. I realize you can get used to it, and generally work with it (like not using pummel as you swing just in case stun procs ).
As Liar said, since SR does not add to diminishing returns, often reflecting is pointless, coupled with the total rage loss.
I think that it falls under 'pretty cool when you see it' type of spell, and at times (with good timing) pretty amazing in 5's 4 dps or 3's 3 dps, but nowhere near as effective as I feel it should be when you consider what you give up to use it. It'd be nice if it changed to "Reflects all spells for 8 seconds" and has a CD of 1 minute. I do realize however how stupidly ridiculous it can be in very rare situations, like reflecting the totality of the team's on demand burst.
Even then I feel as though this solution isn't the best given how little other classes sacrifice for their outs. Even if they can be Mass Dispelled (A spell I hate personally), they still remove all debuffs. AMS prevents new applications, which is very nice. Coupled with the "can still go nuts and not instantly be sheeped", it is a pretty clear win in my book.
I'm going to just MS and then Bloodthirst ftw .
