What is kind of interesting to me about all this... is that I don't really see how ele shamans were nerfed.

In running multiple raids (guild and pug) with my boomkin/shaman team (entirely in pvp gear and gems, and usually, spec) or sometimes just my shamans, it was rare that I was not topping damage meters. Only ppl that would give me a run for my money were T6 warriors or occasionally mages (if there was a ton of aoe). Now, I could just be w/ scrubs that don't know how to dps, but i kinda doubt it. I sure don't have the theorycrafting ability of ppl on the elitist jerks forums. So, I probably don't know wtf I'm talking about except.. I don't really see the nerf. *shrug*

We'll see what happens at 80. I guess the only real 'nerf' I've felt is the heroism change. And that is only on the level of my crew as a whole being able to pop back to back heroisms or not have some scrub in AV pop and give me the debuff. Heroism affecting the raid would be OP if the debuff didn't apply.
