Pros: 263DD mana free nuke
Cons: 8 second cast time

While I agree it's a nice item and I certainly plan on getting one, I don't think its genuine to say that this is a truly game-changing item. If that were the case I don't think we'd see any Iksar shaman.

Can anyone pipe in to say exactly how they use it? Is it situational or does it make sense to do nothing but click this thing in group all day? And how do you manage mana regen if you have to always be standing up and using this thing?

Thanks!

I think it basically boils down to free damage. So, let us say you're root / DoTing in Charasis and find yourself facing more than you can chew. It'd be in your best interest to root/JBB down the last 10% of a mob than spend that mana on a DoT.

The utility of free damage is enormous and really is priceless. I guess it is up for debate, but I'd say this is a necessary item for any high-end shaman to own.
