Ill make this short and sweet, Don't want to make a thread 'TLDR' because i could go on with this topic forever.
One of the main problems with shamans being viable in pvp is that if they want to be a good player we have to use so many more skills then any other class. Yes there are other classes witch have almost the same amount as shamans but most of shamans skills have little or no cooldown's. With this we are always effected by our GCD and the main reason why shamans are viable in pvp is there earth shock.
Earth shock pretty much silences the enemy for the cost of being silenced for pretty much the same duration. Earth shock interrupts for 2 seconds and were effect by the 1.5 GCD so a .5 difference.(but the player being effected could possibly cast a spell of a different school).
Anyways to my main subject, with the new changes with Pummel and Kick i think Wind shock should not be effect by GCD either. Why? because being a shaman were always stuck in a GCD the only way we can effectively shock is if the player is casting a 2sec+ spell or we have to wait for the spell to be cast. I think its only fair the shamans get the GCD removed on wind shock its a lot more important for them then either warriors and rogues.
