Thanks Zenga You are the man as always. .


How are you managing your dps cool downs? Are you using a big button to shoot them all off at once - or individually?

1) You want to get as much out of ascendance as possible, thus engineering gloves orc racial trinkets are a must to pop. Its a good idea to pop fire elemetal during ascendance as well, they have no interaction but since mop your fire ele no longer takes a snapshot of your stats, but it scales all the time up and down with your stats (not mastery).

2) Echo of the elements is in theory better than elemental mastery, but ele mastery is way more practical for me since it's up before every boss. The more gear you'll have (and thus the more haste), the more echoes will pull ahead in value. If bloodlust was on a shorter cd, or if I was troll I'd spec into echoes. For now I run with EM and prime elementalist since it means I can use it on every boss. I'm not shitting you, most heroic bosses die within 1 ascendance with my team.

3) If you use elemental blast, it's a good idea to make sure you cast it before popping ascendancem also make sure you cast 1 lava burst before ascendance, since it resets the cooldown of it, i.e. you'll get an extra lava burst this way.

Summary:

Tank pullls, I pop flame shock and fire elementals.
1 sham pops stormlash and another one ancestral guidance.
1 lava burst from team
then i go to town with this macro while warrior pops skull banner

/cast ascendance
/cast lava burst
/cast Elemental Mastery
/cast Blood Fury(Racial)
/use 10
/use 13
/use Potion of the Jade Serpent

15s later i loot corpse unless boss has a 2nd phase

Edit: there is a 'trick' that is not really intended I guess that I make use off as well. The T13 (cata) resto gear bonus is 30% haste during spirit walkers grace. 3 of my 4 shamans have it. They have that gear equipped, i pop spirit walkers grace, swap back to their normal gear set with a macro and pull boss. 15s extra 30% haste (20s) if you glyph it.
