If I know the tank is having issues with mainly starter threat I start off with a nice slow normal casted CL(AOE)or Lava Surge(single). I genrally try to have the cast finish1 second after the charge/DnD/avenger shield.
It's less dps but you don't lose too much.
I do find it annoying that I can't do squat when I pull threat aside from using Shamanistic rage and hope the dmg reducton will help me survive. Even cat druids have Cower which is something.
If you are very very desprate, earth elementa can get you out of a jam, but it will often cause more trouble then is worth.
Earth elementals are extremely reliable in the low levels for taking your threat. Hell they;ll take all threat from everyone and had amazing durability, in the low levels.
Maybe in an expansion or three blizz will give shamans a summon water or air elemental move whch helps with threat. Most likely it'll be an air elemental.
Air Elemental Totem:
The Air elemental blurs the vision of the surrounding enemies reducing the shman's threat by 20% in the process. The Air elemental increases the shaman's melee and casting speed by 1% for it's duration. it lasts 1 sec. CD:
it won't be up when you need it, trust me
. Calling this abilty overpowered will ban your account.

Hah. Figured I midaswell start using the Quote feature...
Anyhow, us Shamans -DO- have something; Wind Shear. It's not just an interrupt, it's a threat dump. While I wouldn't say to always use it when you need to dump threat, it does work when you don't need to interrupt something.
wow I didn't know windshear removed some threat. My enh. shaman is more of an alt for fun type of toon, so I miss some of the nuances.
I just occurred to me, our Feral Spirit's
just might be our greatest "oh shi..." button. I use it when lose adds go for the healer, when I've pulled (sometimes) or when my tank is getting whomped and the healer needs a few seconds to catch up on healing.
I didn't know that the wolves could taunt.
This doesn't automatically happen right? you have to acively use it right?
If it's automatic, I'm assuming a macro can take it off automatic use.

I heard there was going to be changes added that would make wind shear no have a cheaper price from mental agility.
Would this increase of mana cost to wind shear for enh. be of a concern or is mana still primarily a non issue since all the other abilities are still cheap?
Also I heard this was going to happen to purge as well.

The only change was to
Purge
by removing it from
, and it's already been implemented.
Hurray I can wind shear away without concern then.
