Ok, I think I've finally found the solution to the potential shaman woes of 2.1. For those long fights (Maiden/Curator or longer) you take min/maxing literally. Starting with lb rank1, you alternate min rank lb with max rank. This gives you a lb that is essentially free and still does *some*damage, and has your base raid crit chance (should be around 40% or more with raid buffs and ToW) giving you a chance for the 60% (+10% from talents) discount from a clearcasting proc. The only thing you have to be a bit more heads up about is making sure that you pay attention which bolt you use when you pop elemental mastery.
I'm just not sure how big of a dps hit this will be. I think I'll go try and hit up dr.boom from the rocks and see how long I can manage to cast this was and then head back here to report in since I really don't know to run the math on it on paper.
