I understand the above, however we get to sit at 70 for a month underpowered and then at 80 underpowered (even though some seem to think LvB will make up for it, it won't) Go check beta characters raids and cry when you see elemental shaman 1k dps below the rest of raid and barely above tanks. I'm not holding out that it will change, blue seems to think our damage is fine(even with many many reports of our dmg being low) so in that regard I started leveling alt teams.... just in case.
It will get adjusted, the developers have already said that they want all DPS classes and specs to be within 5% DPS of each other. So if elemental shaman are 10% behind the rest at 80, they will get buffed to be within 5%.

They have also already stated that the current status of DPS is not to be concerned about because this patch is balanced towards level 80 not 70.
