First, if you're using the WF/FT setup for your enchants, not using Unleashed Elements is losing you a very significant attack speed increased from the WF unleash effect. Personally, I always recast flame shock early to keep Unleashed Elements on cooldown, for a couple reasons. One, even though the Unleashed Flame buff lasts 8 seconds, which is long enough for - on a fresh casting of flame shock->earth shock, say, from the start of the fight - you to squeeze in another earth shock and then a flame shock at the end with the 20% damage buff, you wind up with some very wonky cooldowns, and eventually you are forced to either wait on UE or clip a flame shock. Second, I like to keep UE on cooldown at all times because of the Unleash Wind effect, which is a very nice boost to your melee attack speed. Honestly though, I don't know if this is the best behavior, I haven't seen anything saying which is better. It probably comes down to a playstyle thing.
Note also that DoT clipping refers to recasting a DoT before its duration finishes and between ticks, thus resetting the tick count and making it take longer to tick again.
This is no longer in the game.
Now, when you reset any DoT, simply the duration is refreshed, the time between ticks is kept. So, if it's 1.5s after the last tick and you refresh the DoT, before you would have to wait 4.5s before the next tick, now you just wait 1.5s. In short terms, all you lose by Flame Shocking before the last tick of Flame Shock is an Earth Shock that would normally go in its place. Instead, you get a much more nicely flowing queuing of abilities.
Second, I have a question of my own: Will not being spell hit capped cause Hex to have a chance to break early, even if the target didn't take damage?

Since no one has answered this question, even to say they don't know, I'm posting it again.

But which trinket setup is the best?
I really don't like there excel sheets.
Any suggestions?
If you're that much into min/max'ing, it's basically the only way to go.can you somehow add the links in my signature to a sticky. 95% of the questions are answered there.

Actually considering making one of those, just with a few extra additions. Stay tuned :)

Are there any important differences in combat performance between the Earth Elemental and Fire Elemental summons? (As Enh, if it matters)
Apart from the fact that they replace different totems (and my guess is the fire totem contributes more to my damage), is there a reason to prefer one over the other?
Thanks.
