I did see that Moonfire is getting a DPS boost.

Boomkins are fun and flexible because you can pick your fights-- stealth is a very nice tool.

HOWEVER, they lack burst, and burst will continue to be important. The also have problems with fear like any non-Shaman team. At the end of the day, I think my shaman team can be more successful in BGs.

Hopefully, the Cata changes are going to allow those of us with both teams to give them both a fair shake. It may no longer be a huge, uphill battle for everyone's "second team", gear-wise.
