You know, I didn't realize when I posted your last infraction that you'd made three absolutely shitty posts one after another. That takes a special kind of stupid. Let's extend that ban from a week to a month.

Original Post:

I am a confused shaman.

I've read all the posts, threads, topics.... and Google-Searched everything related to "Enhancement Shaman DPS Mechanics Rotation WOW WOTLK" etc..........

And NOTHING talks about this topic:

LAVA BURST.

Seriously. - I mean.........WTF? Here's a spell... that we can use, which GUARANTEES us a 9% increase in Critical Strike Rating - for 10 seconds (Assuming you have 3 points in elemental devastation.)

Now...... I haven't applied a 3-dimensional cross-tabbed coefficient model to determine the optimal DPS for all this ............. /gag.............. but I CAN tell you this:

When I utilized LAVA BURST in my rotation - i.e. tossed it in whenever Elemental Devastation was not up, my DPS jumped from:

WITHOUT LAVA BURST: 2134

WITH LAVA BURST: 2547

Now,............ a couple of other things. - My gear still stinks, relatively speaking. I'm not decked out in all 213 /226 epics yet - but I've been playing a shammy as an alt for years now,... and there is definitely something to this LAVA BURST,... which I have not seen addressed in your forums. Anyways,.. here is my profile if you want to review. - NO RIPPING - this is an ALT. - but I love the class... and I like to DPS occasionally. (Main is a healer.)

The World of Warcraft Armory

So............... can you comment or, possibly, direct me to a discussion around the utilization of LAVA BURST in an Enhancement Shammy's DPS rotation? - and/or explain where I am off here?

I mean,.. what's the point in the spell, if not for this?
