Enha ain't that bad after all . Fail picture incoming!

DBS25 (Alt run)

Can u post that SS but unedited?

[datagram]

this "guide" is kind of bogus

you do not need any points in imp SS if you time it correctly
(you are going to suck at enhance if you cannot time things accordingly, its the "hardest" class)
feral spirit is lame
best spec for molten is 21-50
(check my char on armory for spec)
profs should be engineering/tailoring
WF/WF on both weps
use glyph of windfury weapon / glyph of lightning bolt / glyph of fire nova
berserking main enchant / mongoose off

maelstromx5 is going to pop so much you absolutely need shock&awe / powerauras

once you are BiS hit becomes more valuable than haste.

OP mentioned that this guide is based on retail, so yep this guide isn't for molten.

And indeed 21/50/0 is better than having the feral spirit since you can achieve more dps due to molten bug.

chillings guide bro!

[Hesthetank]

FYI 2xwf isnt better than wf/ft in heroic gear, in couple of dbs runs i tried it and i almost always did more dps with ft on offhand.

Great guide! but I have a question , some people say that Lava Lash is bugged and you shouldn't spend 1 talent point on that , in this guide it says that it is in the priority , Stormstrike>Lava Lash...etc , one thing I dont understand about Lava Lash is that it does low damage and it seems almost useless for my shamy now that hes really low geared.
Is it any way of using Lava Lash as contribution to your DPS? If so , How?

[joestar]

well, LL is an insta that deals 100% weapon dmg... even just that it's a boost in dps...
anyway it converts the dmg in fire dmg ignoring armor, not bad at all! :)

are there any useful macros or tips on how to write ones to use with my rotation? I'd really like to know.

are there any useful macros or tips on how to write ones to use with my rotation? I'd really like to know.

i use 1 for rotation 1 for LB

#showtooltip
/startattack
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/castsequence reset=6 stormstrike,lava lash,,Flame shock,Magma Totem,Fire Nova,lightning shield,stormstrike,lava lash,fire nova,earth shock
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/startattack
/cast Lightning Bolt

rotation one work pretty well for me

[hellforge]

Macro that alternates between FS and ES (resets to FS on target switch for multiple targets):
(Note: if you also want to use it out of raids, set it to ES, ES, FS that won't be a DPS loss on bosses)

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=16/combat/target Flame Shock, Earth Shock, Earth Shock
/startattack

Macro for Stormstrike or LL that casts Lightning Shield if those are on cooldown (I personally have LL and LS separate):

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=4 Stormstrike, Lava Lash, Lightning Shield
/startattack

You can group Stormstrike with Lava Lash, or Lava Lash with Lightning Shield with "reset=3" so that it casts LL if both are on cooldown (LS is missing) then casts LS if you press it again within 3 seconds; this way you don't cast LS instead of LL:

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=3 Lava Lash, Lightning Shield
/startattack

Now of course using single spell hotkeys is by far superior. Not only because you have a better control of what you cast, but because you have to make the decision based on procs/ buffs etc. There's no rotation for enh shamans in general and that's what makes it fun :)

The only macro that I recommend is the ES/ FS/ FS shocks macro, just because that's how you will do it anyway.

As for Fire Nova, I don't recomment using it in a castsequence macro, it may cause trouble.
