Anybody know the proc rate on that lightning shield? I would strongly guess that it is not really so much damage, as aggro you are trying to add there. 50 damage sourced at the tank is effectivly ~ 1200 damage in aggro sensitive encounters.
Mana is indeed the bane of Shaman, and a 20% reduction in the cost of your heals blows away any other possible set bonus. If they were going to make 10storms the elemental set, it would be nice if atleast 2/3 of the set bonuses applied to elemental damage.
As far as elemental shaman go -I'm not trying to tell you how to play- but they seem to be the worst of the "magic damage healers" because they have no group utility and the talents have so little cross over utility.
