Legion - Thrall and Doomhammer
We found some interesting references to Thrall and Doomhammer. Unfortunately there isn't much more than what is below yet. Keep in mind that this is just a reference in an alpha build of Legion, not something final or officially announced. Spoilers below!

Keep your eyes on Thrall. He's wounded. He's like to kill himself down here and I don't want to be the one to tell his wife!
Doomhammer... it was like a dead weight in my hands. The elements were silent. It has been this way since I used it to slay Garrosh.

Spirits... hear my call...
Are you the so-called "World Shaman?" Hah! You fight like a crippled pig.

Hear me, elements of Azeroth.
Once, we walked as one. I abused your powers for my own personal vendetta.
Take back the Doomhammer! Grant it to one who is worthy.
Teach me, and again I will be your servant.



Legion - Shaman Artifact Intro
A little piece of the Shaman Artifact intro was also found, likely from the ending that takes place in your Class Hall.

Take your place among the circle, Farseer. The Earthen Ring is forged anew, and with it, we rekindle hope for this world.
You are the chosen defender of Azeroth! May your wisdom guide this circle to victory, and may the power of your artifact crush those who would bring chaos to this land.

The elements have chosen you as their champion, $n. The artifact you wield is proof.
It is your destiny to lead the Earthen Ring against the Burning Legion. We need you. Do you accept this burden?
Yes. I will be your Farseer!

From this map you may dispatch members of the Earthen Ring throughout the Broken Isles. Lead us to victory, Farseer!
This Astral Portal will return you to Dalaran whenever you wish, Farseer. I will keep it open so that you may return here any time.



Legion - Artifact Weapon Previews
Today we have the Elemental Shaman Artifact The Fist of Ra-Den. Several of the shields are missing still, so look for them after a new build.

How is Cheap Shot part of a rotation, surely its only a utility, stun button?
For CC purposes, it can be used as on a rotational basis. It’s not maximum DPS, but still commonly worth it for things like PvP. (WarcraftDevs)

Wtf do you mean blind is gone? Why?? It's my fave Cc! It feels so cocky just to blind a mob. Like "No! Wait your turn!" :'(
That was referring to Subtlety specifically. Different Rogue specs have different ways to CC. For example, you may like Parley. (Celestalon)

Legion Shadow Dance is a letdown to some pvpers. Maybe let an active/passive effect? Passive is negated while on CD, thoughts?
I'd love to hear more about this feedback. People giving it: What frequency are you imagining for the proposed version? (Celestalon)
No sane PvP'er wants to lose the ability to make plays like we can with Shadow Dance. Its just a bad idea.
Again, that's why I'm asking these questions. How are you imagining it will play out? There's clearly a difference. (Celestalon)
The downside is not being able to do stuff on-demand, and positioning not mattering due to Shadowstrike.
So you're saying that you don't expect the proposed version will feel controllable? That's useful feedback. (Celestalon)

Shaman (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
If there are no weapon drops in Legion, where will a enhancement shaman get his off hand weapon from?
Doomhammer grants shamans the power to form a second weapon from the elements! No need for any lesser weapon drops. (WarcraftDevs)
Is it like a copy of Doomhammer or something else?
Here's an image of it next to Doomhammer! It's also on the Artifact blog here: https://t.co/BJoTNPPtwq (WarcraftDevs)

Will we be able to transmog over the Elemental weapons?
The weapons formed by your elemental powers will behave like normal weapons. You will be able to transmog over them. (WarcraftDevs)

PvP
Will honor kills acquired out in the world contribute to prestige levels? Any support in legion for out of instance PVP?
Honorable kills in the world will reward Honor and can increase your Honor level. (WarcraftDevs)

    It makes no sense that the elements would be pissed at him for the killing of Garrosh. In order for any shaman to even use the elements he/her needs to pretty much ask for permission to aid him/her. So pretty much Thrall was given permission to kill Garrosh with the power of them.....which means why would they be pissed at him for giving him the ability to do so.

    While agree with you in spirit in parts, the story was pretty good in Cata, just poorly told. Wrath had a GREAT story in the leveling portion. MoP was very solid writing, even great at parts. WoD is where the wheels fell off, and that's the first expansion Metzen didn't have a day to day role - it was all Dave Kosak. I think he's the driving force behind the piss poor writing being done now, like the incredibly stupid and disappointing end to Hellfire, or the hints at a great backstory for Yrel, which never happened, or the "important paladin story" that never appeared.

    But yeah, not interested in all in "orc redemption" and them being the focus for so long. Sylvanas has the most compelling story of all, and she's been ignored since Cata. Jana was just getting interesting, and she's sidelined. Gnomes have been ignored since Wrath. Goblins have been ignored since Cata. Worgen...the poor Worgen...it's the World Of Wasted Opportunity.

    What if the elements left Thrall, because they feel betrayed by him working with the Draenor ones?

    So when are we finally seeing some alpha video's of elemental? Come on. I want me instant lightning bolt! I stopped playing elemental because casting on the move was removed for lightning bolt, severely crippling elemental freedom of movement (which was SO fun!). Switched to hunter, because they do have almost full freedom of movement AND disengage. Now if we get insta-lightning bolt, I will surely move back to elemental. I'll take the crappy 'rage' mechanics for granted for increased freedom of movement. Spreading flameshocks will still suck if they take up full resources. Just make flameshock 20-30sec DOT baseline and let us spread it instantly, reduce the ticking damage a bit to make up for not having a cooldown if you feel that's neccesary, but don't make it crappy using up full resources, making it a pain to spread.

    When did he kill Azuregos?
