The orc racial is a buff to AP and Spell Damage.
Blood Fury.
The details on the spell is this:
Apply Aura: Mod Attack Power
Apply Aura: Mod Damage Done (126)
This does not give spell power. Meaning healing gets no effect from this. But both ele and enhance will get a buff.
If you do think you are getting a healing buff it is due to
Mental Quickness. That is an enhancement talent that turns AP into SP. This method gives a minor healing boost to a non healing spec.
More importantly is that the spell damage is added and then Mental Quickness gives extra SP on top of that due to the AP increase.
The orc racial for axe & fist weapons is a nice advantage. That makes the expertise cap easier on enhancement.
I don't know the details on berserking. I don't know which is better or worse.
I am resto/ele. I picked orc as my shaman's race because their shoulders are huge. They also do not have troll feet.
Trolls may hate on that comment, but if I get a set of epic boots, I want to see them on my feet.
I also believe
AXE TOTEM > all totems.
If only we could convince bliz to let us throw them at bosses. Sticking a windfury totem to a boss's backside should keep melee in range.
EDIT: Gnomes do suck.
