So, was you guys know wind shear got a huge nerf, yet it's possible to reduce it's CD. I was wondering if it's worth going for Reverberation to get a reduced cd or stay with instant ghost wolf. Pvp wise as the tittle says.

In general the answer is a big no-no. But it's extremely comp dependent.
We heavily rely on kiting our enemy to survive. You would have a hard time against melee cleaves without the instant ghost wolf as you won't be able to kite effectively and will get trained easily. The 5 sec wind shear is useless in this situation. On the other hand instant ghost wolf will always be a valuable tool.
However, if your comp really lacks good interrupts, perhaps a Retri pally. Since they don't have any healing reduction ability you're relying on cc and good interrupts. They can also provide you mobility with HoF. Now here, it could actually be beneficial to pick it up.
If you run with a feral or a dk, they can handle interrupts themselves for the most part.
Same goes for 3s. If you run MLS or RLS you already have amazing interrupts, but you also have partners that are great at peeling, so it's really debatable.

Actually even on Retail many shamans in top rated RLS/MLS teams ran with Reverberation.
If you don't trust your partners peeling capabilities then yeah, instant ghost wolf is the safe way.

15, or 5 sec to interrupt enemy casters ? gwolf fake casts mebe ? i cannot see, why instant gwolf is better actually, druids stance (form) changes rullz, sine they remove slowing effects, shamans gwolf - does not remove anything. only diff is that you can't be polymorfed in gwolf form, which seems to be bugged too.
forgive me, since i was wrong about polymorfs. slows is the only thing, which gwolf is usefull for. and kiting ofc.

You cannot be reduced below normal running speed while in ghost wolf so if you have an aoe slow on the ground ghost wolf is better then druid travel form. Drop earthbind yourself and you have a deadly kiting combo stronger than any healer has.

You remind me of all the people i meet in arena that are horde, if they die vs myself and my partner the rage comes in the whispers; saying how 'gay' rshamans are. Go home kid, you're drunk and learn to play your class.
to get back to the question: Instant wolf > reverberation, due to kiting being much much easier this way.
