Northrend and the Changes

Well, since I've last posted here many things have happened. Patch 3.0.2 came out with a free respec and then Wrath of the Lich King released. I specced back into Enhance to a full 61 pts and I headed off into Northrend to begin to level. This place is really impressive and I think Blizzard has done an incredible job creating this place. I've attained 71st level and I am making my way through the quests and hoping that I can keep a fairly consistent pace to level to 80. I really want to be level 80 before the middle of winter, but I am also not going to rush things.

I've found that since the changes for how the stats work what abilities are key for Shaman, that I beginning to not like enhancement as much as I used to. While I do have a huge array of offensive capabilities, I am finding it lack luster in actual practice. My spell rotations have changed some and with the added lava burst and spirit wolves, I find that I am really wanting to narrow my rotation tremendously. I've been toying around a lot with my spells and placement on my action bars, and I still have not found a comfortable way to do this. This has gotten me to thinking it may be time to try a different build to see what I think. Elemental really doesn't appeal to me a lot, but I'll look into it while resto does look better to me. A lot of me interest in trying Resto again is in how they have refigured the spell bonuses and such. With everything being consolidated into spellpower now, I feel that Resto is very viable way to go now given they should have more offensive firepower. Who knows, I'm researching it sitll.
