So do we have a confirmed Shockadin build?
At least until we start levelling to 85...
...
Yes
.
It's just so devastating. People can't out DPS my mixture of damage and healing in PvP, Exorcism is so fast with my gear it's almost uninterruptable.
I DARE SAY it's even useful in heroics, and possibly some minor raiding, though I've yet to try and get into a raid.
So do we have a confirmed Shockadin build?
....Did you ignore the last 6 pages?
I know what he meant. The last 6 pages has been theorycrafting and finger crossing. Now, shizz just got
real

Question. Will Speed of Light be nerfed back for the Shockadins and remove the 30% spell haste on Exorcism? Because at the moment, the effect isn't in line with the tooltip, it makes my sub-ilvl200 holy gearset cast Exorcisms at 1.04secs for the whole 5 seconds, and generally makes it overpowered relative to the intent of the talent, I imagine.
What are your thoughts on it?

Oh. I thought this was a result of all the haste on my gear.
It may be nerfed as a result of it not being intended, but I can't see it being nerfed because exorcism is too powerful on Holy Paladins/Shockadins. I'm pretty sure this bug still exists on Beta. And regardless, they're buffing Exorcism on beta too, so even if they did the overall DPS output would probably be the same.
"* Exorcism now scales from 22,5% of AP or Spell Power, up from 15%."

That was whilst healing.

Holy crap... That's comparable to a Ret at the same gear I believe...

Exorcism is a 17% spell hit requirement for raid bosses, isn't it? (6% for heroic bosses)
Armory hasn't updated for the new specs. I can't remember my spec (I'm at work at the moment), but I was getting ~3.0-3.2k Exorcism hits, ~3k Holy Shock hits, and I don't have a single piece of >ilvl200 gear. Everything is either heroic / rep purple ilvl200, blue ilvl187-200 or lower. DPS, I'd guess (without Recount installed on my laptop) is around 2.4-2.6k or thereabouts, given my cast times and the abuse of Speed of Light. That'd translate to around 4.6-4.8k on Svala.
But again - highly undergeared. Yeah, I'm not a Holy Paladin by stock and trade.

Holy Wrath does more damage single target than exorcism, and thus it has priority over it when it's off CD. At least, that's the case at my gear level.
Sticking with plate here. No reason to get anything else, and there's even a bonus now for sticking to plate. 5% extra intellect.
EDIT:
" * Speed of Light has been revamped to only affect Holy Radiance - Speed of Light - Grants 1/2/3% spell haste and reduces the cooldown of Holy Radiance by 30 sec. Casting Holy Radiance increases your movement speed by 20/40/60% for 4 sec. /"
May or may not have effected Exorcism. Most likely has.

Toldja :P
Is that an in-game hotfix, or is that for the next patch?

If you're referring to Speed of Light,
It's listed under Cataclysm beta on MMO, so probably next patch.

Thanks blademeld. After the scaling increase, we'll lose 30% DPS on haste, and gain about (prop%)*50% on the scaling, where prop% is the proportion of damage being done by the AP/SP scaling rather than base damage.
That's not too bad, I guess.
