Original Post:

"Sets:
Shaman T9 Elemental 2P Bonus (Flame Shock) - Increases the duration of your Flame Shock spell by 9.0 sec.
Shaman T9 Elemental 4P Bonus (Lava Burst) - Increases the damage done by your Lava Burst spell by 20%.

Relic:
Shaman T9 Elemental Relic (Lightning Bolt) (Class: Shaman) -- Each time you cast Lightning Bolt, you have a chance to gain 200 haste rating for 12 sec."

One question I am curious about is: how will our rotation change in 3.2 to reflect the 2 pc. t9 (9 extra seconds on Flame Shock), and will having the new Shaman T9 Elemental Relic play any role in this. I remember seeing somewhere on EJ that in order to add an extra LB to our rotation, to get as little downtime as possible in between casts, the next amount of haste shamans would need would be around 800 or so. With the current gear, this number is not very feasible. But, if the new Relic does indeed have close to a 100% uptime, it would be possible to achieve around 800 haste from gear + totems + boomkin. The 9 seconds added onto Flame Shock will probably also change our rotation, allowing us to get in another round of LBs and a LvB; however, yet again, this would probably be a priority-based rotation like we already have, which is somewhat based around the amount of haste we shamans have.
