Unless there is a patch tonight or on the day of release that buffs Hailstorm, you won't be taking it in 7.1.5.

What baseline talents are good then? Is choice even an option?
In 7.1.5 you will have more choice than on live.
In the level 15 tier, HH and WS sim pretty close to each other. AS and CL can also be fairly competitive.
You swap between Overcharge and Tempest depending on your gear and encounter type (gear also has an impact on the talents above).
With certain items it is even still viable to go BF/Tempest/AS and then pick whatever you like in the AOE tier because you'll never press it.
When would you go Overcharge? A pure ST-fight or?
Since the talent choices are much closer now, which are better for heavy aoe/mythic+? Windsong or Hot Hands? Would CS ever be worth taking over FoA? How about Tempest vs OverCharge? Assume I don't have any tier bonuses.
Also, should FoA be maintained even on single target fights?
Are you using the same talents?

Windsong vs Hot Hands for aoe could be a wash, but I think I would take hot hands generally in m+ because the proc will be available every pull whereas there's a good chance I'd waste some of the duration of Windsong. Honestly though they'd both do fine.
Overcharge is a purely single target talent, take Tempest for AOE. It's not necessarily significantly better, but it is at least slightly better.
Yes.
I'd recommend that anyone with questions check out Wordup's excellent guide on WoWhead, whith has now been updated to 7.1.5.

EU player here. Patch hits tomorrow.
In terms of legendaries I have the ring, chest and Prydaz. I also currently have a mythic 12 chestpiece that's 885 with crit/mastery. Once the patch hits tomorrow is it worth swapping out the chests and wearing the buffed Prydaz?
Kind of not looking forward to this awkward optimal talent setup. I'm not really 100 percent certain why Hailstorm was such a problem for them. Having the ring and wrists depends on Hailstorm so much, you'd think they would at least make it a competitive option IF you had both.
Fury of Air really perfects the feeling of Enhancement and maelstrom management. You get punished hard for topping off and bottoming out, I like the balancing act a lot.
I feel like I'm about the same but I think I'll improve as I get used to it.
since we don´t use crashing storm anymore lava lash will be the only filler on single target fights, correct?
given the change to boulderfist is now live dose this make it weaker than ascendance?
