The simplest spec guys, this is the basic spec that most use http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?sham...Ottz,eka,12213
you can also drop out convection for improved fire nova and ghost wolf, for some more aoe dmg and mobility. Now the glyphs: glyphs of lava, glyph of lightning bolt, and the third one you can choose between, Glyph of Elemental mastery, glyph of flame shock, glyph of totem of wrath, or if you're doing an encounter that requires some aoe dmg, use glyph of fire nova, and talent those 2 points in improved fire nova.
Rotation is really simple, keep flame shock up, lava burst and lightning bolt spam, until your fingers bleed ( you can throw in a chain lightning if the boss is spawning mobs and etc...)
Now the BIS gear:
T10 HEAD HC -
T10 SHOULDER HC -
T10 CHEST HC -
T10 HANDS HC -
Cloak of burning dusk (halion 25) or Frostbinded's shredded cape (valithria 25)
Bracers of fiery night (halion 25) or Bloodsunders bracers
Split shape belt (halion 25) or Crushing coldwraith belt ( marrowgar 25)
Plague scientist's boots (Festergut 25) or Boots of divided being (halion 10hc)
Plagubringer's stained pants (Festergut 25HC) or Rippling flesh kilt
Royal scepter of Terenas II (LK 25 HC) or Tel'thas (LK 10 HC)
Bulwark of smouldering steel ( marrowgar 25 hc)
Amulet of silent eulogy ( Gunship 25 HC) or Blood Queen's crimson choker ( bql 25 hc)
VALANAR FINGER (BPC 25 HC) or ring of rapid ascent ( Gunship 25 hc)
ASHEN FINGER
Bizuri totem
TRINKET Dislodged foreign object or phylactery of the nameless lich
TRINKET Charred twilight scale (halion 25hc)
The neck (amulet of silent eulogy) and finger ( valanar..) I chose because they give me hit, so later on I don't have to gem for hit rating.
Well that is it. I did this really quickly, there isn't much to talk about ele shamans, except their dps on molten isn't the best, you bring a lot of buffs, yes some of them are replaced by other classes, but still you are needed. My opinion that something is bugged with elemental shamans, the dps is a lot lower than expected , and there is not much you can change the rotation.
Magma totem was bugged it didnt crited now its fixed.Shaman is suport class dont forget tha!t but they can still do high amount dps if u are selfaware of enviroment.
Instead of Glyph of Totem of Wrath, you can always issue in a Glyph of Elemental Mastery(Reduces your Elemental Mastery by 30 secs). It reduces your Elem Mastery CD to 2.5mins instead of 3 mins, which is really useful since that added haste is invaluable. plus one or two extra insta-LBs are kick ***. the minor SP bonus off Wrath Glyph is kinda inferior imo.
the more the better , the better the best go on

That's just my opinion though, but calling the SP-boost "inferior" is an exaggeration, especially considering the relatively small amount of time the haste-buff is active for.
That's just my two cents. Well not mine alone, I have a stats-obsessed friend who worked this one out with me.
would be great if u would consider to spend your precious time on making it :)
