5x sham PVP spec and spell rotation

What do you feel about this spec?

My theory at level 80 pvp the normal rotation will just be flame shock,lava burst.
With this spec it would go instant flame shock, 1.5s gcd, 1.5s lava burst, 1.5s gcd. 4.5s total(5sec shock cooldown)
5x flame shock and 5x 100% crit lava bursts should kill anyone.
Lava burst does +11% and 274% crit damage with this spec, so 304% total. My calculations and +spell dam estimates put the damage atleast 8k damage minus resistance EACH for this!
Bonus: You will always have clear casting so mana should be less of an issue.
Elemental mastery is only really needed for the occasional chain lightning or massive thunderstorm.
Any ideas on this? Anyone get to try it out on beta?

edit: oh btw I'm talking about bg's as in arenas you would def use more chain lightnings.

So lava bust has a 8 sec cd so I figured it would be better to save 5 pts and keep the 6 sec shock cd and instead get full astral shift and convection.

You would probably end up doing something like this: flame shock,lava burst,(totem/heal/chain lightning).

out of curiousity, how do you plan on being viable in arena with 5 shamans? Or are you going to only use 4 in the arena?

I still haven't soloed 5v5 so I can't claim any experience there. I will try it at 80 but I don't expect to have a good rating. I don't think the spec will be any different though.

I can tell you the way it goes in my mind tho lol.

All mount up and charge the other team. Flame shock when in range then lava burst. That should be a for sure kill, I hope. Drop tremor totems and an earthbind.
Instant ghost wolf and get a little range. Drop new tremors and an earthbind. Drop fire nova totems or thunderstorm if melee is already on you. More flame shocks and lava bursts til they are dead filling the cooldowns with heals or EM chain lightnings.

My theorycraft probably = fail who knows. Would be nice to hear from someone that may have tried this in beta or 5v5ers at 70 with ideas.

During the 1.5 seconds you are stuck doing nothing while waiting for GCD between flame shock and lava burst (add in another 1.5 seconds to cast lava burst), and also before you can flameshock you have to wait for your slaves to catch up, what do you plan to do when their MS warrior charge/aoe fears you?

Well hopefully you can flame shock the warrior first so he cant charge. If not and you get feared I would trinket and 1x thunderstorm hopefully before he bladestorms. Only way out of bladestorm is to split up. So killing any warriors quick would be key imo. Theres too many variables in a 5v5 match to have a strict plan. I just know the dif between 80 arena and 70 arena will be that theres no reason to use lightning bolt unless you are OOM.
