Original Post:
Hi guys, I've been trying to workshop my dps as an enhancement shaman for the last 2 months, and I've been using this thread a lot. There are, however, a few things I've discovered on my own, that I don't see explained here (at least not clearly) that I wanted to share. That said, I feel I must disclaim myself by saying that if anyone finds flaw in what follows, by all means, correct me, the last thing I want to do is mislead people.

1st of all, my rotation:
at 5 stacks of MW - Chain Lightning. Yes, Lightning bolt scales better with spell damage, and I don't have the Exact number here, but my observations have been that prior to about 2300 spell damage, chain lightning still does more damage. Another note on this subject; For those of you looking for a macro that will cast both chain lightning, and then lightning bolt when CL is on cooldown - it doesn't exist. You can't make a macro that is contingent upon a spell being cooled down. The mechanics for it do not exist.
Next Stormstrike...
Next Earth Shock...
Next Lava Lash...

And finally, when those things are on cooldown, I'm either refreshing magma totem, or lightning shield.

Other data:

On the topic of spirit wolves and attack power:
buffs, and burning trinkets WILL effect your wolves damage, but it IS realtime. In other words, burning a 15 second trinket before summoning your wolves offers no real advantage, because as soon as the buff wears off, they will lose it too.

Well, that's all I have for now. Working on a few other things, but I won't post anything inconclusive. Hope this helps
