Bored at work today and was messing around with some specs on the new talent calc out on mmo-champion. Here is what I have come up with. What do you guys think? Any ideas/suggestions?

Enhance PvE - http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?shaman=05203005000000000000000003030503310502133303113123105100000000000000000000000000&glyph=081816070503&version=9637

I am thinking with the new Stormstrike that mana issues are pretty much going to be non existent so I left a couple points out of Ancestral Knowledge (the AP gain from the little bit of extra Int isn't enough to warrant taking it imo, I just liked it cause it gave me more mana and more breathing room),didn't take Elemental Focus and took the 2 points I usually put in Convection and put them in Call of Flame instead. Might swap out Flametounge glyph for something else depending on what comes along, the new glyphs are not in the calc yet.

Enhance PvP - http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?shaman=05320005200000000000000000230520303550133020110123125100000000000000000000000000&glyph=081806070206&version=9637

This is so up in the air I really don't know. I pretty much made sure to get ANY pvp related talent although I wouldn't doubt some won't really be worth taking. Left out Shamanistic focus due to the new stormstrike and I still plan on using water shield for pvp. I think it would probably be more optimal to take out a pvp talent or two and pick up Weapon Mastery and Duel Wield Specialization. Might go for the Fire Ele glyph if it allows it to be used in arenas but I doubt it. Will replace the Flametounge glyph with the Stoneclaw one if it is worthwhile.

Elemental PvE - http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?shaman=55300015032133513025013510050500310000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000&glyph=071215070604&version=9637

Not really many choices here in my opinion. Only thing I can really think of is if you are over the hit cap you could drop 2 points out of Elemental Precision and go for Booming Echoes instead. I don't really know too much about Ele glyphs. First 2 are a must have however Lightning Bolt may be a different story. Choices here would be either 4% more dmg to LB, 2% spell crit or 30s off Elemental Mastery. 2% spell crit is probably better actually but I don't know how much LB accounts for dmg in a typical boss fight. Elemental Mastery is a lot like spirit wolves, used mainly on boss fights and you want to time it to be with Bloodlust and what not so I don't know how much 30s off would really help.

I see a few more options here for moving points around but in the little bit of pvp I have done as Ele I think this should be pretty good. You could pass up Elemental Precision if you plan on wearing PvE gear but once you get all PvP gear it would be a must I think. You really don't cast Lightning Bolt that much in pvp as it takes too long so I passed on Lightning Overload. I doubt you would drop Totem of Wrath much and it would probably get destroyed quick anyway so I didn't see a reason to take it. Passed on the mana regen and cost reduction talents as pvp is not about having your mana pool last the longest, its about bursting the other team down. Reverberation would be nice for 1s off your interrupt but it just doesn't seem worth it for 5 points. Maybe drop 2 points out of Ancestral Knowledge for Earth's Grasp to give you extra range on Earthbind but I doubt it would help enough to be worth it. Ghost Wolf glyph is junk but whatever atleast it does something useful. Would switch out Glyph of Totem of Wrath (stupid name as it has nothing to do with the totem) with Fire Ele glyph if it allowed it to be used in Arenas.
