Yeah, forgot retadin use 2h :P
Anyway, after some maths, they do about the same damage vs an opponent with 30% armor.
So bashing one while praising the other one is stupid.

you cldn't give enhance shamans any new pwnsauce moves, not unless you nerf wf or something first, lava lash is just a move thrown in to make our priority rotation a bit less boring, enhance at lvl 70 was pretty lol dps wise, flameshock, stormstrike, earthshock wait repeat, i applied about 70 percent of my damage by just autohitting the mob with wf on my weaps. and lavalash aint too bad, once you get the 100% increased crit damage from spells (this is the point where you stop using double wf on your weapons) and throw ft on ure weap.
Actually in accordance to that....you shouldn't be starting your rotation with FS anyway. It may seem like it gives you a dps boost, but ES spam is actually more of a dps rotation than FS/ES switchoff or however you would use it.
And on the point of LL, l2grammar and stop QQing. LL isn't supposed to be an uber spell that melts faces and goes all PWNZOR. It's a cheap spell that gives you instant damage, procs 400 AP (w/ the trinket), possibly WF, and can build up your Maelstrom weapon.
Paladins are powerful yes, but I've beaten many pallies with my shaman. You have wolves that can do impressive dmg, if not confuse an enemy. So, that part is covered. As well as DK's. If you uber fail that much anyway, its not like we, as shamans, don't have
elemental totems
. I mean, Shamans are very powerful in the raiding market today. We have heroism, we have heroic presence, we have totems, we have the ability to instant cast LB/CL, we have a self-rez......the shamans are pretty powerful in raiding today. Especially Enhance shamans because we don't run OOM, we put out high dps, and we can even toss out an emergency heal every now and then. So, stop QQing.

remember it's all part of a rotation. Stormstrike sucks when compared to say bloodthirst, but remember bt is like a warriors bread n butter, a huge chunk of their dmg, and for us we have shock, lightning shield going off, maelstorm, lava lash, a lot going on.
I disagree. StormStrike provides a 20% (28% glyphed) boost in our MS5 LBs/CLs, which is a HUGE chunk of our damage as well. Combined with the fact it regenerates MP when improved, that it isn't normalized, and it procs Flurry/MS builds, and I can assuredly tell you it's a key part of our damage. It may not by itself, but it sets us up really nice.

Why are we feeding the troll? Lava Lash is not the move we rock faces with. That is fine, it does not need to be.
I'm also surprised by the number of people talking about proccing WF off LL. You're leveling, correct? Because you definitely want FT when you're 80.

Flame Shock is for Elemental? Then why am I seeing a 600 (on average, crits considered) damage increase using FS over ES when the target has no DoT?
Sure, all but one of the ticks must hit the mob in order for it to do better damage, but timed properly this is certainly an increase (at my gear levels).

I'm sure that what thronarr is saying is: Flame Shock is only
meant
to be used as Elemental. The whole Glyph-remake made it noticeable for Enhancement however.

What did Stormstrike do for most of BC? It got changed to only nature around WotLK...
Anyway, I prefer the FS+ES combo in Enhance's rotation. I hope they'll embrace it and rebalanced and not nerfed if they want to nerf Enhance's damage.
