I use flametongue, healing stream (for instance if I ever do them again), and the flame shock one for dps.

lava burst - 10% dmg increase
flameshock - DoT increased by 6 secs which means an 18 second ticking DoT and lavaburst does not consume it. Which also means 2 rounds of lavaburst per flameshock
chain lightning - add another target to the chain lightning
there is nothing better for pvp

Why? Elemental Mastery is going to pwn this weak glyph.

well, i dunno. perhaps i had the glyph since inscription has been around, and so i still use.
anyways, i didnt knew of the EM change in the future until recently. Also, 20% crit during 20 seconds, with a 3 minute cooldown, whereas the "weak glyph" is a static 2% crit, i dunno man.
is your choice, the CL glyph, really a better one ? isn't the dmg to the 4th target a little bit weak and at the same time, how often do u happen to catch 4 targets with ur cl ?
well, i dunno. i find crit, a much better way to improve my damage overall, and with the EM change, well, let it be 22% more crit then,

Critting is becoming more important with the upcoming Elemental Oath change (Elemental Oath + Clearcasting => Increased spell power) .. so.. I would say.. unless you need the healing stream glyph, go for the 2% crit glyph.. it's an awesome all round glyph tbh.

To give an example - this is what you will be looking for in PvP:
* Elemental Mastery
* Flame Shock (high chance to crit)
-> Elemental Oath
-> Clearcasting
-> 10% increased dmg from spells (sick!)
* Lava Burst crits for 9-11k.. I assume.. pretty ridiculous dmg if you manage to land it.
* Chain Lightning with high crit chance if you still have EM active.
* Earth Shock/TS
So, if allowed to cast, a 4x shaman team will probably be looking at landing 50-70k burst damage on a regular basis. Not so bad after all.

Well we are a burst class and a support class. We are not a DPS pew pew class until now which is still pretty weak. So I say drop the %2 to crit and go with the 3 min pew pew

Flame shock glyph
Lava burst glyph
After changes: EM glyph i think. not 100% sure. I don't like to rely on CD's.
