The Deep change is not on the offical patch notes, just the data mined ones.

btw astral shift is now usable while silenced on live
It means nothing at this point really, it's pure speculation. It could be just a joke from a dev who knows the patch would be datamined before the patch notes would be released. It was released when the world was supposed to end after all ...
And it could also be intended: 'lets add something crazy to the client thats gonna be datamined and then dont mention it in the patch notes so they will cry less about all the other nerfs'.
hm pretty sure its always been physical
anyway useable while silienced or not, cooldown is too long/duration too short
I don't see anything in those notes addressing the fact that elemental shaman hit like wet noodles even though they're hard casters. The only other pvp hard caster is a Shadow Priest, yet they hit like trucks. Mage and warlock specs allow instants that hit harder than elemental blast. The only way to be on par with damage is to get extremely lucky with RNG mastery procs. This while fire mages instant pyro for 120k.
