This i posted on the WoW-Eu forums suggestion part i thought id put it here for some feedback
Elemental Shaman suggestion
As you know if you keep up to date, elemental shamans have their dps lowerd with ulduar patch, blizzard does not know why and they have posted about maybe changeing the Overload talent to give 33% chance of proc rather than the 20% for 3 talentpoints we have now, well here i will post my suggestion how to solve the unitended dps loss
The change that blizzard have suggested is good but id like to modify it either have both my suggestion and blizzard one or choose i be truthful and say, ofcouse i want my class to me epic good dps in raids. but here im will try a a very balanced change that will effect ulduar raiders, as it is here we saw the dps loss
Tier 8 set bonus
(2) Set: The periodic damage dealt by your Flame Shock can now be critical strikes.
(4) Set: Your critical Strikes from Lightning Bolt cause the target to take nature damage equal to 8% of the Lightning Bolt's damage over 4 sec.
these bonuses are really good but my suggestion is make the 2 set bonus procc Clearcast shamans should not have a mana problem right now and this should not change that fact.
(Elemental focus Teir 3 one talent point)
After landing a critical strike with a Fire, Frost,
or Nature damage spell, you enter a
Clearcasting state. The Clearcasting state
reduces the mana cost of your next 2 damage
or healing spells by 40%.
(Elemental Oath Teir 8 Two talent points)
Your spell critical strikes grant your party or
raid members within 100 yards Elemental Oath,
increasing spell critical strike chance by 5%.
In addition, while Clearcasting from Elemental Focus
is active, you deal 10% more spell damage.
Lasts 15 sec.
this 10% is like a allover damage buff
so if the (2) set bonus would trigger Elemental foucs the problem would be solved this is my idea
and why should it be like this you might ask?
Well as blizzard said the damage decrease of elemental shamans the source of this problem is unknown but not intended
i think this would be a way to fix this, you can ofcouse do as you see fit. but please somehow remove this unintended dps loss
I would like to add that the extra chance on Overload is very welcome aswell
Intresting thought do no real suggestions
the 4 set bonus what if the debuff would stack? (probably to overpowerd)
The debuff can crit and also procc Clearcast?
(forked lightning for aoe?)

I think the reason why Elemental Focus doesn't proc from the Flame Shock crit-ticks, is because those aren't an actual cast. It works correctly off the Flame Shock initial damage-crits, and so on - but having it proc from Flame Shock ticks would probably be
too
good. Would be nice to have it renew the timer (for the increased damage boost, but that's probably it). I would welcome the change though, but I doubt it's happening.
I havn't really seen much about just exactly the 4-set bonus works - because if it stacks, it gives a potential damage increase of:
Lightning Bolt crit% * 8% * amount of total damage done by Lightning Bolt
Needless to say, it's a pretty decent increase (a few % or so), even if it doesn't stack, as you'd need a crit on your Lightning Bolt higher than 50%, and/or a significant amount of haste, before the DoTs would start "shaving" off each other.
Also, the Lightning Overload change has indeed gone live (hotfixed). The tooltip just isn't fixed yet.

ye this would be very helpful let it stack up to 6 or 8 or maybe let it stack up to 20 when you reach that you get some kinds of buff also?
last part was just retarted if you ask me but
let clearcast stack up to 6-8 times that be cool
