From MMO-Champion:

Shaman (Forums / Talent Calculator)
Elemental

* Shamanism: This talent now increases your Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning spell damage by 4/8/12/16/20% (Up from 3/6/9/12/15%) and Lava Burst spell damage by 5/10/15/20/25% (Up from 4/8/12/16/20%)

Tier 10 Elemental Shaman set 4-pieces effect (redesigned): Whenever Lava burst successfully casted on the target, it increases Flame Shock duration by 6 sec

I'm excited about these changes. They aren't super huge (the 4peice bonus is, om nom nom almost never having to recast Flame shock), but they definitely should help give ele shamans a little mini boost they need to keep from being the bottem dps. Hopefully.

No, that little boost you feel is the moonkin's pushing you up =D

Glad they finally settled on a 4pc bonus, and a nice one at that.

They buffed the moonkin as well - hopefully they will both be more viable soon.

Mages will always want Boomkin in the raid.

Well, a raid wants an Ele shaman or a Boomkin, but not both (depending on your makeup - Unholy DK/Demo Lock/S.Priest) - and both specs DPS has been way down lately. This will hopefully put both of them on par with other hybrids.
