As I see it, it's a problem that Hurricane isn't simply a bad option, it's not an option at all. That just reeks of bad design. Should it be a sub-par option? Of course, but the best model to copy would be the Shadow Priest model, rather than Frost Mage. Put dots up as much as possible (sometimes just VT, sometimes VT and SW:P), keep Replenishment rolling with Mind Blast, and use Mind Sear as filler. The mana cost on Hurricane is soooo punishing that using it as filler between dotting isn't an option, and Moonfire *ahem* Sunfire Spam is superior filler. Sunfire Spam, imho, is as anti-fun as repeated channeling. Combine with the vast comparative inadequacy of of AoE in Lunar Eclipse (non-eclipse should be worse, clearly, but either ought to be semi-viable...), it's just an overly wrought AoE system which needs streamlining.
