20% Melee/Ranged Haste

Is it just me or does this buff seem too good? In Cataclysm, haste is your main stat when it comes to increasing your resource generation. If you're in a raid group that does not have this buff, it greatly hinders your DPS.

As of right now, there is only 3 ways to get this buff: Shamans, Frost Deathknights, and Survival Hunters. If there's more casters than melee and you have 1 shaman, then he's dropping Wrath of Air.


My suggestion is to either decrease the power of this buff to 10%, and/or give it to more classes.

An idea would be to give a talent to rogues that causes their Slice and Dice to also grant 20% haste to party/raid.

Another idea would be to give a third shout to Warriors that grants 20% haste that shares cooldown and cannot be used with Battle and Commanding Shout.

Bringing back Swift Retribution for ret paladins is also a thought.
