Static Shock vs Reverbation

This is the current talent build that I am into.

I did read about how Static Shock wasn't a very impressive talent, but I wanted to try it myself. The first thing I did notice was not an increase in dps, but the fact that I was running out mana very often . Yes, Shamanistic Rage takes care of that, but it's still an annoyance. I have to say I'm not very crazy about Static shock so far.
I really like how 2 of the new talents, Lava Lash and Maelstrom Weapon, really improve our rotation of abilities casted in combat. However, it also made me realise how much being tight in our casting rotation is important to maximise our dps. So I found my self often button-mashing my hotkey for that ASAP-Earth Shock that is just a second late. Considering the the fact that enhancements now have much more offensive spell casting power, that spell crit and crit are one and that Elemental Devastation is (very) viable, would it be worthwile to decrease our shock cooldown by one second ?
Take a look at this build:

With this build, I could cast earthshock much more often, triggering Elemental Devastation more often but also doing more shocks per second, thus more damage per second ( and shocks are an important source of damage, even more then ever since WotLK).
I'm ready to give Static Shock a last chance in a raid environnement, but going 5/5 in Reverbation is very tempting.
What do you guys think ?

You missed a key talent in there, Elemental Fury, it adds alot to your dps.
That's the spec I run with and I'm pulling around 3800-4000(moar on certain encounters) DPS on raid bosses.
So you would choose Elemental Fury over Reverbation, even at 18.75% spell crit ?
And if you put the 3 points in Static shock, why not also put 3 points in Improved sheilds to maximize the damage from lightning sheild ?

don't forget that Elemental Fury causes your flametongue weapon to crit for double instead of 1.5.
