    LvB 2 Second cast time. Annoyed!

    Disregard this. MMO-Champ didn't give the full story. Just checked actual patch notes and realized it was a buff due to the extra 25%

    It's a 6% damage increase on our singletarget, and doesn't nerf our AoE, not sure what you're on about but the buff is really needed, specially with the new meta gem.

    You do realize the damage on it was buffed. It was also increased to 2s because of haste clipping. Or do you find it fun to cast something for .6 seconds and still have to wait .4 seconds for the GCD to finish?

    They increased the damage with the cast time. Provided you've Flame Shocked the target, LvB scales better than LB with the changes (will fetch numbers momentarily). The increased casting time also increases the benefit of the legendary Meta.

    I don't know what you are doing but if you have the correct amount of haste you shouldn't get any clipping. Except some minor clipping if all your buffs are up including BL/Hero

    The -> conversion is adding Shamanism for LB, Flame Shock for LvB. As you can see, even without factoring in the auto crit function, Lava Burst hits harder and scales better than Lightning Bolt.

    Sorry, but there is no "correct amount of haste" to avoid clipping. Presuming you are under bloodlust and the meta procs, you only need 5400 haste rating for clipping to occur with Lightning Bolt. With other sources of haste -- a haste buff from elemental blast and/or windsong (1500 haste rating each), a trinket (i.e., Volatile Talisman's 8800 haste rating), or a boss mechanic, it's fairly easy to get clipping.
    A 1.5 sec cast time under bloodlust and the meta proc is clipped, even if you somehow manage to find a full set of gear without any haste.

    Because it matters so such if you get kicked into a 1.5 Lvb or a 2.0 lvb.

    This has been discussed elsewhere, and the OP realized he only had half the story by the third post, so I'm just going to close this.
