Since I've been back from a break (came back after the patch). I've noticed that my shaman dps seems low.

My gear score is over 4k now, I've still get some crap pieces but most are i232 and above. (with exception of weapon, off hand and trinkets). My elem shaman have the obvious elem glyphs, i've also been swapping over my spirit to mastery as my tohit is capped. Think I have around 20% for the overload proc.

My team is
pali
priest
2x elem shaman
arcane mage.

Typically my arcane mage beats the shaman unless the fight is more aoe based.

I think my main issue is I'm not getting in the extra lava bursts as the cooldown resets.

My rotation is typically

flame shock,
then a macro with
/cast sequence Lava burst, lightning bolt x4 repeat.

I throw in chain lightning when 3 or more mobs.

I've tried using an another key for lavaburst but seems timing this is problematic , and i'm afraid if I use it then I'll lock up my cast sequence.

I seem to be around 2k on trash (though things do die fast so not an optimal fight). On tank and spank bosses my shaman tend to be 2.5 to 3k.

My arcane mage seems to be higher dps even if I just do the arcane blastx4 arcane barrage.

Overall I notice my dps dropped with the 4.0.1 patch (from when I played months ago.)

Any help tips would be great, also numbers on what others are doing would help to gauge my lvl of sucking as well .

Thanks
