Had a random thought while
reminiscing on old Shaman YouTube videos
(not mine). What if Blizzard down the road developed a fourth talent tier specialization for Shaman with a focus on Earth attunement for tanking? I mean, Druids have 4 talent specializations. Discussion?

I would fancy this. In classic and for a few expansions later, shamans had the ability to generate threat, as in classic the shaman was to be the Horde equal to the Alliance paladin. Why this was not picked as a path I really do not understand, but it would be in my oppinion fantastic to see this

I was just thinking it would be awesome for an Earthcaller shaman tanking spec. We are the only class that can use a shield, but can't tank. I can see how it could work and be different enough from other tanks. Earth elemental becoming a permanent pet, directing threat to us or taking mobs itself. Rockbiter, Earth Shock, Earthquake, to generate threat,and a new spell called Earth Barrier that functioned like a thorns but with an absorb for x% per hit. Certain enhancement attacks become reflavored, Lava Lash becoming Boulder Bash and using a shield, Crash Lightning becoming Rock Slide, also giving Earth Shield (i know it's in PvP but darn it) to Earthcallers as base. I think it could be a real, fun, spec. Problem is, would it be good?

Also it could add the ability to be an Earth Ascendant, as currently, you can only be Fire (Elemental), Air (Enhancement), and Water (Restoration) Ascendants.

This could be kinda cool to be honest ! Tremors to CC enemies, Earth shield to protect allies, Earthen spikes to aggro. Id be down with that.
