I've been playing Elemental for 4 years now, and even though I enjoy the spec I'm sick and tired of playing something this subpar. Hell, for most of Cataclysm Elemental's been quite a bit below average, both on logs/raidbots etc and in sims. I was hoping for it to be better come MoP - but it doesn't look like it. My DPS went down since the patch, and level 90 doesn't seem to be any better:

One question though - are these sims accurate? The OP in "Beta Class Analysis II" stated that all specs were (almost) within 5% of eachother. How come this isn't reflected in these sims?
