Heroic dunegons and 5m setup

Out of curiosity, what is the shaman dps rotation?

I'm going PaLLMPr but am interested in doing shammies down the road. Trying to understand the way they'll play

From memory it is basically just Chain Lighting & Lightning Bolts empowered by stacking Totems, Elemental Mastery, Bloodlust/Heroism, drums, & trinkets (especially on bosses).

I found it very flexible as the AI help from Chain Lighting and Chain Healing, while not true AoE, helped simplify things and was good enough when working against multiple targets. The fact that everyone can both DPS and Heal and made for a very forgivable setup that could often burst damage through and/or Heal through most mechanics (everyone Chain Heal themselves is a pretty nice oh-shit button when you didn't move out of AoE). Mix in Tremor totems for auto-clear of Fears/Charms/Sleeps, being able to summon Guardians for hard encounters, being able to shock/interrupt as well as ground the party, and also Reincarnate when things go wrong makes for a very forgivable team... Personally I preferred Paladin+4Shaman over 5Shaman but to be fair my Paladin was in top Raid gear and it was just better for me overall.

My biggest concern is that the playstyle will be very spammy and if you optimize it I would be concerned that it would look like Input Broadcasting or at least streamlining. We shouldn't have to worry about that but these are weird times for WoW multiboxers...
