Smart searing is nice.
Looks like Fire Nova is definitely not in or rotation anymore.
Ancestral Knowledge isnt as painful to take.
Heroism? ITS CALLED BLOODLUST FFS!
Two talent points to increase the totems radius? Just increase it already We dont have the points to spend. If we skip improved shields we can take it. Or at least combine it with Totemic vigor.

I choose to interpret this as because Horde are awesome and were the original (and best) users of Bloodlust, only the Alliance version Heroism shares a cooldown with Timewarp. Whereas Horde mages can timewarp away even with bloodlust's exhausted debuff. Does that not seem sensible?
The Enhancement Shaman has 46 talents to choose from in their tree. Ret Pali, Shadow Priest, Affliction & Demo Warlock and the Balance Druid have 37 to choose from.
If 31 will get you to capstone talent, that leaves only choices (potentially) for those specs, while the Enhancement Shaman still has 15 options. The problem, there will only be 41 talents allocated to any class.
Accross all classes/specs the mean is 40, the median is 41. I know it's still in beta, but I'm not sure how to justify having more than 41 talents total per tree. But 46 is outrageous. That's just how I see it.
