the logical conclusion would be that it's removing some of the hidden (or not so hidden anymore) cooldown allowing your eclipses to overlap slightly so that you are not wasting that one last cast of wrath without eclipse when your starfire one procs (and starfire cast on wrath proc) and you go straight from eclipse to eclipse.
so with this bonus you'd be casting your wraths still in their eclipse when your starfire one procs, thus your last wrath cast is still getting the eclipse bonus when you switch over to casting starfires, and of course the same thing while in your lunar eclipse when it procs solar.
maybe i'm interpreting it wrong but that's how i read it.

"Rogue T10 2P Bonus - Gives your melee finishing moves a 13% chance to add 3 combo points to your target."
Makes me want to play rogue again.

If I were a man the resto druid bonuses would have made me jizz, a lot.

Might have been seen before, but yes. Win.

What's with the Dwarf Death Knight Warlock?
thehoodie Oct 7th 2009 10:48PM
The elemental shaman one makes no sense, it only has an 8 second CD as it is.
Sawlid Oct 7th 2009 11:48PM
Yeah, what the fuck.
The 2 piece is kinda confusing, too. So every time I cast lightning bolt, it reduces the cooldown on Elemental Mastery by 1 sec? If so, very nice
Squeek Oct 8th 2009 2:02AM
Blizz never writes the Elemental one right. Last time, they had them backwards, so I assume these are backwards too.
Flipped:
# Shaman T10 Elemental 2P Bonus - Your Lightning Bolt spell reduces the remaining cooldown on your Lava Burst ability by 1 sec.
# Shaman T10 Elemental 4P Bonus - The cooldown on your Elemental Mastery talent is reduced by 15 sec.
If this is true, then we might as well keep 2 pieces of tier 9 (even though that's hardly a buff in itself) and get 2 pieces of tier 10. Elemental Mastery is one of the most worthless cooldowns ever as it is.
thebitterfig Oct 8th 2009 11:54AM
i'll put forward an alternate version, since 15 seconds off of elemental mastery is such utter trash that bliz would be halfway suicidal to even mention it to already P.O.d elemental shaman who are almost as left behind in gear/raid scaling as shadow priests, and i bet no self-respecting shaman would even bother with 4t10 and just stick at 2 with either 2t9 or new offset peices.
2t10: as written. Elemental Mastery isn't great, but one second per LiB could actually be a meaningful enough reduction. if you figure 3 or 4 Lightning Bolts per 10 seconds, that adds up to the cooldown ending 30% sooner, which closes in on a minute off of the 3 minute CD...
4t10: The cooldown of your Lava Burst is reduced by 1.5 seconds, which makes enough sense. just a change in decimal point.
on the other hand... if it is LiB reducing the LvB cooldown, that could be blizzard's way of trying to get Chain Lightning out of the standard elemental rotation...

"Warlock T10 2P Bonus - The critical strike chance of your Shadowbolt, Incinerate, and Corruption spells is increased by 5%."
While more crit rating is always good, this is probably the most boring set bonus ever.
Bludstorm Oct 7th 2009 9:56PM
I would have liked the AP boost chance to be a bit higher for the Enh Shaman 4p bonus, but both the 2 piece and 4 piece bonus are so awesome that I cannot complain.
L8onautry Oct 7th 2009 10:02PM
The 2P rogue bonus is definitely awesome, but I don't get the 4P one at all....every 30 seconds TotT comes off CD, so I cast it and it gives me back 15 energy and that's it? 15 energy every 30 seconds? Stop the presses.... :-P
Rupture crit is the coolest rogue tier ability EVER....
Deathgodryuk Oct 8th 2009 12:08AM
As was pointed out by someone else, Rogues should be using ToT on cooldown as it is. The fact that you no longer have to spend 15 energy and instead get 15 energy means that it's a benefit of 30 energy.
Getting 15 energy in exchange for either giving a tank more threat or buffing the damage of another raid member is freaking hot anyway.

Some of these bonuses are really nice.
The ele shaman 4 pc is very nice, and 2 pc is kind cool, except i always forget to use Elemental Mastery =/
But the shaman healing....20% haste after riptide AND the haste bonus from tidal waves? Super fast healing waves are awesome.
Priest ones are also pretty cool.
I hope these go live. Not that Im gonna get t10 though, based on how much i've been raiding recently (i.e., not at all).
Malachi Oct 7th 2009 10:14PM
I forgot I even had Elemental Mastery when I went Elemental after hitting 80 for about a week. Then I was going through my spellbook and saw it. I ended up macroing it to Chain Lightning so I'd never forget to use it.
elchuchopisado Oct 8th 2009 3:38PM
DPS Warrior bonuses are sexy especially the 4P bonus.
Socialcockroach Oct 7th 2009 10:09PM
The shadow priest T4 set bonus is... amazing.
theRaptor Oct 8th 2009 8:38AM
Yeah I mean "WTFOMGBBQ".
Especially if that is a 51% reduction AFTER the haste cap. If it isn't then haste got even more worthless for Spriests.
Socialcockroach Oct 7th 2009 10:11PM
errr... 4 part set bonus. >_
