What is missed in the analysis, and I missed in the original 4.3 patch notes article, where I bemoaned the 25 CD on windshear a bit was the reverberation change that effectively give you the option to reduce windshear down to 5sec CD. For once, I am fully happy with the Enh Shaman changes. They were all thought out and have some synergy, rather than the random..oh, now we need to mod something else "because" type changes enh had for most of the past tweaks that seemed disconnected.

I think the "to non-physical" change rather than "spell power" could be a buff, depending on how LL is treated, same with spells, are spells non-physical?

The flameshock spread is nice, not having to deal with Multi-dot to manage AOE. They originally assumed "mages and locs" can handle multi-dot, shammy's can do the same. Not realizing the amount of movement and "role" and target switching they have and other BS enh shaman's have to do that made it not worthwhile.

Of course, mana is likely now an issue again for enh, but that might not be so bad.
