Glyph of Fire Elemental Totem - Reduces the cooldown of your Fire Elemental Totem by 10 min.

BA BAM!

sweeeeet!!!!

eh as is I barely use my fire elementals. I like my magma, searing and nova totems too much and I feel like if I bring them out its a waste when I need to change up to a different fire totem.

The more I read about DK and shaman changes the more awesome DK + 4 shaman will be for PvE. At this point once 3.0.8 goes live I think DK + 4 shamans is the best possible 5 man combo you can have for heroics.

What makes Death Knights better than Paladins? (serious question)

I'm not going to say its 100% better than a paladin in general for boxing, but I'd say with 4 shamans it is. First, as above, 13% increase to magic damage having a DK. Second, especially with the new DK changes, they are making DKs even easier to multibox. More mitigation up front without using abilities (20% extra armor from frost presence PLUS 10% MORE reduced magic damage from frost presence), the ability to shield your entire team from AoE using anti magic bubble which I've used a few times. Multiple silences (not having to interrupt DPS to silence something), multiple snares (chains of ice and death grip), multiple oh shit buttons, and from what I can tell a lot more DPS than a prot paladin.

To me, that makes DK > Paladin for MB tanking (even if its not by a large margin), plus DKs are cooler ;)
