The 4 piece is not a huge dps increase, but it's more a problem to deal with lava surge procs that we get while we are casting lvb, which was basically a waste so far. There is quite a lot of speculation on totemspot (main ele site) whether this is meant as test case for a future talent change (perma pet for ele and lava surge = instant in talent tree).

In pve ele shaman was at the bottom of all dps specs in current raid tier. And to be viable the skill cap was pretty high. That will be solved through new lightning bolt movement glyph though. But there is still the fact that we don't have the burst we used to have, our lava burst is not the hardest hitting spell in the game. Good thing is that we scale extremely well with gear.
Could be. First I was thinking, that could be OP. But then again, you need several Flame shocks rolling to get a good proc rate. Which are dispellable. Besides that it's not like you got much to offer atm anyway, as ele sham in a pvp scenario.
