Yes. It does. Did you want me to pull some testing data so you can incorporate something into Jamba?
It's always been a dps increase as a filler after LvB when clearcasting is up for a long time. Only when your haste is over 1250 is it a noticeable dps loss. Spellpower coefficients are a factor, but because of the huge difference in cast time, you need significant haste to overcome the .5 second difference. (91% spellpower gain on LB vs ~70% on CL... base is 57 but i can never remember how shamanism factors in since it's combined into the full 3 hit coefficient). Damage, with no haste equals out at 2100 spellpower, but when calculating the dps from each spell it's the haste that makes the huge difference.Chain Lightning a priority in the current elemental shaman rotation?
Cataclysm mechanics don't change this until the evolution of unleash elements at 81 when we'll fill the holes in our 8 second, max, lvb cooldown with UE and ES on single targets. Haste will have the same mechanics for Lava Surge as well, so it's really haste that caps us in the complete removal of CL from the rotation.
I had edited into the original post.Probably still with T10 4x bonus on I guess.
