Just 2 simple suggestions that could be hotfixed anytime that could help us a bit, not gonna fix the class, just a bandaid while we wait for 8.1

I really like shaman mastery, and imo a mastery is something that will push your specific class, something unique, but shaman mastery is atm the worst
stats (simcraft), we go for haste because our big cast times or crit because of elemental fury.

Blizz said that they want to make shaman a lightning base class again, so here goes 2 suggestion for tier 60 talents:

High Voltage: overload has a chance to proc a second overload equals to your mastery.
Storm Elemental: cast time reduced 5% and stacks 10 times.

Explaining: Both changes would make us the lightning turrent spamming again, high voltage change would make our mastery really desirable on a current dead talent. Storm Elemental change, really, even with 1k haste, totem mastery and so, its really hard to get 20 stacks, specially if you are refreshing shocks/using procs. With a better Storm Elemental you could also bring the stormkeep talent back to get stacks fast.


now for the future Bliz changes, they want a lightning class back but the problem is that we dont use more LightB not only because its weak, but with Lava burst 2 charges and Elemental fury and ascendance the way its, Lightning will keep being the last on priority.
Maybe change echo to 2 charges of Fire shock, stackable 2 times with mastery chance or crit chance to proc (prefer mastery).
The other thing is, on Lich king we had an party buff (dont remember the name, it was a blue icon) and Blood lust, why not bring that party haste buff back? Its a unique thing for shaman.
