Man, I'm having some fun with my 5 shamans after the patch. I ran 3 AVs tonight and it reminded me of pre-wotlk shaman power!

1) The AOE root with earthbind is friggin AWESOME. It's nice with 1 shaman, but with 5 you can root people non stop. Works great to stop ANY melee from getting at you!!! This has got to be my favorite. I use it all the time now in BGs. People are going to HATE shaman because of this.

2) I can't WAIT to get the stoneclaw glyph. I wasn't able to get it tonight

3) 5x flame shocks is just brutal on people after the patch. lol. I was killing people in their flying mount with just 1 round of those.

4) Fire and Earth elementals are much better, they don't get killed in like 2 seconds.

5) Heroism moved to every 10 mins is a bit of a bummer, but not so bad.

6) TS while stunned is REALLY nice. since I have it on round robin, I don't have to worry that one of my guys is stunned, which causes me to spam it, you know it'll work.

7) I haven't even touched instant cast CL or LB.

8) Dual spec is really nice!!!

Also, the new WG items are nice, trinkets and chest are really solid. Basically, you get another 111 spell power in you medallion of the alliance/horde trinket. It's a great upgrade.
