Funny, I was just going over the Elemental tree and built a PvP spec. They seem disgustingly overpowered, especially with their new spells. 10% reduced damage while they're casting, a new talent that gives them a 15% running speed boost, and an ability to cast spells while running, all while preserving their extreme burst dps and having mail gear and healing spells. And they have Thunderstorm and the new Earthquake spell as well, and Ghost Wolf and Hex to top it all off.
Shamans who QQ in Cataclysm beta need to SERIOUSLY l2p.

Best Change so far?
* Glyph of the Bear Cub was renamed to Monkey - Your Polymorph: Sheep spell polymorphs the target into a monkey instead.
Y/Y?

Updated with the latest build which is 12942, also, there is a lot of other news in terms of general gameplay. Also, there is a mount called the Golden (Freaking) King. It's a god damn lion. Yes. A lion. And it's only for Alliance. An Alliance LION!

Try using Scorch instead of Fireball? It gives more damage at the moment and takes less mana.

Anyone in Beta/PTR notice Fire goes oom pretty quick? Total Biscut mentioned it, but doing the standard single target rotation on the dummy had me oom in 3-4 mins.
Mana gem every 2 minutes, evocation every 4. Should keep you pretty up there. Throw in mana potions, and I'd dare to say it won't be an issue.
Not to mention that you can make scorch cost zero mana for 2 talent points.
On another note,
Curtain of Frost
got a new animation last build. Best looking spell ever?

It's true, Fire now has a low mana (Actually Zero mana) rotation if we get low, we just go to Scorch and Pyro's on HS procs. Zero mana used, and hopefully shouldn't have to do for more than 15 seconds before a mana gem or evoc come in.

It's pretty sweet, Definitely better than the untargetable Iceblock which just appeared randomly when first released.

fire
blast! :D

Fire is looking like it's getting the most changes to it and will probably be the go-to AoE class. It also seems a bit weird to cast mana free moving Scorches and I'd suspect that they'd atleast try nerf it in PvP, afterall, Hotstreak can proc off of it, so I'd imagine it'd be pretty damaging in PvP, and a good spell to cast while moving or OOM in PvE.

Fire will indeed be a blast from the looks of it. The tree has just about everything you'd expect from a fire spec now IMO...
For leveling however, I think frost will still be the most popular since you get the elemental as a perma-pet (no need to glyph it and it still has the nova) at level 10 now.

Interesting new development guys:
Curtain of Frost
83 Renamed to
Ring of Frost
and has been revamped - Summons a Ring of Frost, taking 3 sec to coalesce. Enemies entering the fully-formed ring will become frozen for 10 sec.
Lasts 12 sec. 10 yd radius. 7% of base mana, 30 yd range, Channeled, 3 min cooldown
Don't really know what the reason behind this change was, but regardless, it has happened. This new patch is apparently up on the PTRs but is yet to go on to the Cataclysm Beta. It seems like we've been buffed in terms of spell mana costs but it'll be interesting as to how this complete redesign of the spell will impact how we use it.
Still, 10 seconds of frozen time is pretty immense.
