Perhaps they could make the damage increase of Wrath 20%-30% instead of 40%, but make it an instant cast spell? I have found that my haste gets Wrath down to around 1 second anyways. For a Solar Eclipse to grant instant cast Wrath would just give us some mobility, without increasing our cast speed. This would benefit fights in PvE like Putricide and might make Moonkins less than terrible in PvP.

Making spells instant cast just means that haste rating will no longer benefit your dps as well as crit rating, and just make boomkin dps scaling with gear even worse.

To avoid bad timing ruining your dps, why not make the eclipse give a buff with charges on it that expires over a very long period, a minute or two. Such that they can control the DPS gain from the talent with the amount of charges the buff gives you, while giving you the control to have to move and then use those charges on your own time.

What if... Lunar eclipse changed Wrath into a five second channeled spell affected by haste that would shoot off one wrath bubble every second until the channel ends? Then we could squeeze in extra wrath balls under the GCD but at the cost of movement.

And yes, I meant Solar Eclipse, not Lunar... but there is no edit button! Whee!
