I would also think about having one warlock. Aren't they doing something to the curse's to include nature damage. Also they are nerfing lightning bolts to come with this change. I am seriouslly considering leveling up another 5 druid team. Then also hopefully get a warlock and 3 paladins leveled also.
Lightning Bolt's spell damage coefficient has been lowered (supposedly from .79 to .71) so it's a nerf but I believe the new talents will more than make up for it. I mean right now Elemental Shaman DPS isn't exactly blowing other casters out of the water (it's not as good as Enhancement DPS even), so I don't see how they could nerf us overall while boosting the other classes in WotLK, we'd be far behind the other casters and no-one would spec elemental anymore.
And yes, Curse of Elements along with some other abilities will now affect Nature damage as well. I'm not worried about it though as long as Totem of Wrath is going to stack -- I'll quite gladly take +6% damage and +3% crit to all spells no matter who they are cast on or what type, over the Warlock's -resists and +10% to the 5 elements. Yes it would be nice to have both but then suddenly you open yourself up to silliness like "I should have a mage for improved scorch, a shadow priest to help the warlock's damage..." etc. and suddenly you find yourself playing all 10 classes really poorly instead of 2 or 3 classes really well.

Also I had forgotten about Lava Burst so I should be OK even against nature immunes
