Ok, so a little over a week ago i decided to start leveling my shaman again (omg fast) i had all of the BoA gear and decided to go Elemental for the simple fact its the spec i was going to use end game. In doing so i hoped to learn everything about the spec, using abilities/totems in certain situations whether it was for dungeons or pvp that would make me a better elemental shaman for raiding and pvp. I have to say up until now i havent researched specs, rotations or anything to do with a shaman. I consider myself a very competent player that learns quick. Anyways, lets get down to business. Up until now, i havent really been using a concrete rotation aside from keeping flame shock on the target, keeping Lava Burst on CD and spamming LB, and also keeping CL on CD. I also do a few things different from other ele shammies ive seen. Like with mobs 3 to 4+ i follow the tank into the pull and drop magma totem, hop back while tossing Flame Shock on a target, tossing chain lightning and then throwing out a lava burst + Fire Nova (only since 3.3). With my style of playing i have been able to push out a solid 3.5k-4k dps (depending on fights) which i consider to be an awesome number considering my gear is terrible as i just hit 80 a couple days ago. Here are my questions, what is a viable rotation that is being used by most? i know sometimes with lots of raid movement rotations and priorities shift, but for the most part there has to be somewhat of a rotation if u will. Also was wondering about spec/glyph combos as well plus stats priorities after reaching hit cap, Thanks!
Here is a link to my armory, sorry for having pvp trinket on, and also pvp spec, all input will be much appreciated thanks

Glyphs: Drop Thunder and Stoneclaw. Take Lightning, Wrath and
Flame Shock (this makes it so flame shock isn't consumed by LavaB...you get 2 or 3 LavaB off 1 fs)
LvB no longer consumes Flame Shocks. The glyph now allows FS ticks to crit.

For a rotation:
1. Open with LB. While the LB is on its way...
2. Cast FS
3. Cast Lava
4. CL
5. Spaming LB until Lava is off CD/CL is off CD/FS is done.
ALWAYS keep FS up.
Lava is your priority attack assuming FS is on.
Always keep Flame Shock on the target, yes BUT that doesn't mean to cast Flame Shock when it comes off the cooldown. Let the debuff finish (or close to finish) its duration before applying it again.
I usually see tips regarding always keeping Flame Shock up, but it may be a bit misleading since its cooldown finishes halfway through the debuff's duration. Letting the debuff finish its duration will result in higher DPS.

Also, for your PvE spec, i'd drop your Water Walking minor glyph in favor of Thunderstorm glyph. More mana, no more disrupting knockback. May depends on you nonetheless, since i know that sometimes it's nice to be able to knockback an aggro'd monster back to the tank, or at least away from you.
