I know this is offtopic, but you brought me to this idea again:
Last night... i strangely had the thought about an "Fire Elemental Form" for Ele... all your totems vanish, you grant 10% spell power and 5% spell haste to the raid (to make up for the vanishing totems), you can only use Fire Spells, but your Lava Burst will be instant cast, and your Flame Shock doesn't have a cooldown anymore. 5 minutes cooldown, 20 seconds duration. Cannot drop any totems while in Fire Elemental Form. Each time you cast a fire spell the duration gets longer by 1 second.
(The idea is that you run out of mana sooner or later because you cannot use any mana-back-spells while in this form and not use any totems, you trade that for being able to do lots of dmg and being able to cast while moving, so you do it on the beginning of the fight and burn your mana, then you change into a low-mana-and-give-mana-back rotation with Thunderstorm and lighting bolt)
