"LvB damage increased by 33%", "Ele blast damage increased by 44%", and then..... "Ascendance now reduces damage of LvB by 25% against PVP targets" to keep it in line. If you could get the kind of crits (4x lvb = dead) with lavaburst in MoP, ascendance would need a change because if you aren't CC'd you could wipe an entire team in less than 15 seconds.

That and if you buff chain lightning, it buffs lava beam, and with stormlash during ascendance you could wipe god knows how many people with ele mastery or echo of the elements. I can imagine going to docks in IOC with ascendance+stormlash, bloodlust and em or echo and annihilating 20 people.
I could imagine that too, but then I'd get charged/shockwaved followed by smokebombed/solar beam and raped
