I'm removing the portion about not wanting to take Glyph of Flame Shock due to it being completely wrong. ---"Elemental specced Shamans shouldn't consider taking Glyph of Flame Shock, as that removes the consumption factor and automatic critical hit of Lava Burst. The damage gained from Lava Burst critting (especially with Lava Flows maxxed out) will always beat the extra damage from the longer Flame Shock." An Elemental Shaman should very much take this glyph, not avoid it.---Zengala
