The mention of the Thunderstorm Glyph should naturally mean the Minor one. Any elemental shaman using the major one over the mentioned ones (Flame Shock, Lightning bolt and Totem of Wrath) is - sorry to say - borderline retarded, and/or horribly geared.

I am curious why people don't use Glyph of Flametongue weapon. It provides 2% spell crit if you have Flametongue Weapon on. Since you should have it always on, this would be a 2% crit buff always on. Glyph of Totem of Wrath provides 84 spell power. Glyph of Flametongue provides 95 crit rating. Since for an Elemental shammy 1 crit rating roughly equals 1 sp, I found the Glyph of Flametongue Weapon much better. This is the combo of glyphs I shall use (didn't play shammy for quite a bit):
Major
- Glyph of Flame Shock
- Glyph of Flametongue Weapon
- Glyph of Lightning Bolt
Minor
- Glyph of Thunderstorm
- Glyph of Renewed Life
- Glyph of Water Shield

That was true in The Burning Crusade, but with the introduction of Lava Burst, crit has dropped in value, as it makes no difference to the spell. Spellpower rules supreme, without a doubt, as it affects everything at our disposal, and scales much better.

No way Crit rating equals spellpower. LvB is a guaranteed crit, and as such crit only affect LB's, CL's and the instant damge of our FS. This is enought to keep up EO.
Spellpower affect all our spells, including LvB and FS dot.
Crit ofcause gives clearcasting, but that has nothing to do with DPS, and suffers from diminishings returns anyway.
