Help finishing this Talent Build?

[sqeaky4100]

Working on a talent build for my 5x Shamans. They're currently level 47, and I have the talent build worked out until lvl 60. From there I'm not quite sure where to go... SO maybe somebody here can assist me with finishing the last 20 levels?

NOTE: So far, it's basically a leveling build, with a focus on (A) As little downtime as possible and (B) Being able to hold my own when Alliance try to jump my team.

Thanks!


EDIT: Came up with a quick thing myself, how does this look?

Or should I be looking into Enhancement too?

I've been looking at a very similar build to that. My team is 41 at the moment but my talents are currently borked, hopefully they fixed it with the patch.

Elemental:
I put the 3 points you have in Eye of the Storm into Unrelenting Storm.
My biggest problem is mana regen. Water shield helps, especially with AoE attacks, but if a shaman is not taking damage and I unload a few chain lightnings then my mana get low. I also don't mind the spell push back in PvE because if the shaman that is being hit gets his spell pushed back then my other shaman land their spells first and one of them takes the aggro. So it helps to spread the damage around.

Restoration:
I don't have any points in resto at the moment but I am thinking of a respec and picking up 5/5 Totemic Focus and then to go all out Elemental. I don't heal enough to justify any points in Tidal Focus or Healing Focus. Improved Reincarnation is also too situational for me to justify taking those points over DPS in Elemental. Tidal Mastery is nice but it is just too far into the Resto tree for leveling. It will probably be the last points I pick up.

My approach might change in BC but I am looking at the following build for leveling:
Level 47 ('http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#hEc0qbdhuZZV')
Level 65 ('http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#hEc0qbdhuZZV')

Ok, some more info.

I just looked at Ellay's proposed end game PvE spec ('http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?shaman=053300152321015132233035100525202100000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000&glyph=000000000000&version=9722') which made me look at the Enhancement tree a little more carefully.

With your suggested spec you get the following out of the Resto tree:
25% less mana for totems
5% less mana for healing
reincarnation bonus
70% less pushback on healing
5% crit to healing and lightning spells

For a total of 20 points.

Enhancement:
10% extra intellect
5% crit to everything
45% less mana for shocks

For a total of 11 points.

So just from a mana efficiency point of view while leveling up, especially grinding through an instance, I am thinking of 11 points into Enhancement and 5 points into resto and then I start down the Elemental tree. I am not too concerned about being ganked as 5 shaman have a lot of firepower, players have to significantly outnumber or significantly outlevel me to pose a threat. I fancy myself against equal numbers and levels as well, they don't have the coordination and focus we have, they probably don't have the firepower and you will have equal or better gear if you farm instances as well. If you are targeted by a few 80s you will probably lose anyway and the times a few more points into elemental would have saved you is too situational to base a spec on.

On the other hand, you can buy dual spec and try out both once you've got enough cash. A thunderstorm build for PvP, BGs, dailies etc, and a mana conservative build to level/grind with.
