The whole random leader thing drives me nuts because when I do BGs I have min. 5, usually 6 or 7 people in my group (I like to my 4 + 2 healers) -- it almost always goes to someone who doesn't understand or realize that they have the lead so my shamans are spread out group wise -- my totem dropping sequence is disigned for having the 4 shamans in the same group, so tremor for example is spread out -- which usually makes me take the full duration for fear bombs.

The main change as far as pvp was the instant lava burst -- when I charge into a fight for a node I pick a target with 20k HP or less and start running to them -- I load them up with flame shocks and then pop my trinket+EM+lava burst macro and kill one person right off the bat.

The AOE root is cool but I'm almost always snared (So many DKs) when I use it that it's pretty useless, not to mention most people just trinket or racial out of it.

The toughest foes still are blood elf DKs or Paladins (the other night I was against a group with 6 blood elf paladins and 3 blood elf DKs -- that was just a painful battleground -- their racial (aoe 2 second silence) is so inbalanced against my -- not only does it interupt my spells but it completely shuts me down for 2 seconds and the cool down - with it only being on a 2 minute cool down and multiple blood elves, it usually means I face it multiple times in every skirimish -- that's the only racial I can think of that can singlehandedly turn the tide of an areana battle -- good thing we've got instant gift of naaru! Seriously though, the horde racials are so much better for pvp it's mind blowing -- the dranai racial is only marginally useful -- I bound all 4 to cast it on the main shaman -- basically it's like getting an extra druid HOT, whoopdedo.
