I don't know if I like the short duration and the incremental way the effect wears off, but until I actually get to play with it the talent definitely stands out in the mind. Elemental Oath, which appears on the tree after Elemental Mastery, has a very interesting effect, reducing your party's mana costs and increasing their critical strike damage both by 2% when you crit with a spell. I have no idea if this will be raid wide or not, the wording doesn't seem to imply that it will be but that could just be an oversight. Still, combined with Totem of Wrath this makes elemental shamans even more helpful for other casters. Combined with the capstone new talent, Thunderstorm, it appears Elemental Shamans have a variety of ways to regain mana or reduce how much they need to spend now. Thunderstorm actually looks fairly good for PvP to me, as does Astral Shift. I'd like to see more of a reduction effect on Astral Shift, admittedly, but working on stuns, fears and silences seems like a positive step for shaman survivability. I really like Storm, Earth and Fire but so far the shamans I've spoken with aren't as enthusiastic as I am about it. I personally love the chance to root with my frost shocks, anything that extends the range of my interrupt is good in my eyes, and more periodic damage for flame shock is more damage, plain and simple. But I've been taken to task for liking it when it seems more like a combination of three somewhat weak buffs to our shocks rather than a standout strong buff to one school or another. You are the judge, I guess.
