You still haven't written a proper fact why it is wrong, you just write that you don't like it.
Please write one or even a bunch of those ideas, because what you are doing is not a discussion it's simply dismissal. I'll gladly hear more ideas that would make us fun, and would fit better.

My problem with binding something to a weapon imbue is that it restricts what we can use. It should be more like select what you want, and talent for that. We are already fixed with FT on the offhand if we want to be as effective as we want to be. There is a little compensation on the frozen power talent if we use frost brand, but it's not as effective.
Let's see what you say about attack chance. We could go with the Static Shock talent work off successful MH attacks, up the proc chance to 60%, keep everything as it is with shields, and change the Searing Flames talent to (Overload), but it would stack electric charges from your Lightning Shield and would effect Storm Strike instead! Overload would also stack when you are attacked and Lightning Shield retaliates.
Improved Lava Lash could be changed that it consumes your Flame Shock, and deals extra damage equal to the remainder of the duration. This way you have to rotate your shocks.
We have Searing Totem for single target (without a key mechanic tied to it) and Magma / Fire Nova for AoE.
