Not OP in PvE at all. Seriously? 100% crit chance on 1 spell? Most Elemental Shamans run 50+ % crit raid buffed anyway. I just see an issue with the scaling of the spell, since it's designed to always crit. That makes crit not as attractive as other stats.
Oh well. Here's to Cataclysm changing how we gear and keeping us in a good place (potentially better in PvE?). Cheers.
