Riptide
We have a lot of work to do still on Riptide. We still think the niche is good, but the numbers don't feel right yet.
Enhancement shamans / UR changes
I can say that we aren't thrilled about seeing Enhancement shammies in caster gear, with two fast weapons and dual FTs. We have some ideas that will shift Enhancement back to caring about AP more, while still letting you do a lot of spell damage, because that's a cool part of the class. I predict that WF / FT will be more popular, but you never know.
Windfury Bugs
We hope that the bugs in the next patch will be fixed with WF.
Lightning Bolt nerf in WotLK / Elemental spec damage boost
The reason Lightning Bolt probably feels weak to you (which I gather is the problem, though many of these posts aren't at all easy to read) is because it benefits from a lot of buffs that didn't used to benefit it. The old Curse of Shadows is but one example. We designed the numbers for LB to do some pretty decent damage when raid buffed, and lowered some of the base number accordingly so that it wouldn't be insane when fully buffed. But we started to realize Elementals were going to log into 3.0, even before Northrend, and see LB damage way down. That feels pretty cruddy.
The good news is that overall, Elemental damage was low. That's going to give us a lot of room for Balance-like damage buffs.
Everyone should be in a similar boat. You will see your dps go up a lot when in a large group -- that's part of the charm of seeing what happens when everyone combines their efforts. But shamans in general and Elemental in particular isn't designed to be crappy unless with friends.
