Some Elemental info for Hyprying

First, a shaman to emulate, followed by caveats:

I did VoA this morning with this person and he/she was doing over 8k. Check the glyphs, spec, and stats just to get a sense of what an 8k dps setup looks like.
Keep in mind, though, that stat priorities change at different levels of gear: he only itemizes for haste in 2 hybrid gems and 1 enchant, because he already has 908. So you don't necessarily want to copy all his choices until you have access to similar high level raid gear.

Despite low item level, this is a great trinket that's easy to farm in ToC 5 man reg.
Your hit/haste proc trinket is good if you need hit, but you're currently so far over the hit cap that the ToC trink is far superior.

Though its rankings are not 100% reliable, the lists on this site will help you get a sense of where your upgrades might come from. Uncheck all 25 and 10 man instances, select "include leather/cloth", click "submit item options", and see what is available for each item slot, just from running randoms and specific 5 mans during the day.

I haven't read everything here but even if I had I don't know enough about shamans to vouch for it, but usually the forums stickied threads are good and this one appears to be well written. So probably memorize this guide: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=15276982047&sid=1

Also visit Wow.com for mostly bad writing from people who visit mmo-champion.com and manage to turn one sentence from there into a full page column. The class guides can sometimes be informative though, specifically check out http://www.wow.com/category/shaman/.

Raid Preparation, March 11

We hope to tackle the following raid content starting at about 9:00 ST, thurs. 3/11.

-Flame Levi (weekly)
-Marrowgar
-Lady Deathwhisper

Try to be ready to go at 8:30 ST, if everyone is on and we can get an early start on Ulduar, we'll have more time to work on the ICC fights. Please be as prepared as possible: read the guides, watch the Tankspot videos a few times, and make some notes to review immediately before we pull. Ideally each member of the raid should understand the details of a fight well enough to lead and direct a group. Once you have a decent command of the fight mechanics, watching the videos and focusing on an individual raid member (or just the boss, or just the adds, etc.) for the entire encounter can help tremendously with situational awareness.

Sorry, bags covering recount in this one, so I edited my messy inventory out of our victory shot. Posted above.
