Retribution looks great, though I guess only time will tell how it will turn out.
 
Shamanistic Rage reduces the mana cost of your skills, totems, and offensive spells by 90 for 15 sec.

i dun remember having any mana issues at all. wth~
 
Its a nerf to shammy rage coz it doesnt give u mana back anymore, i would go from OOM to full mana with 1 shammy rage now it just lowers the mana cost on abilities instead of being a mana battery spell like divine plea.
 
i am sure they buff somewhere else... i just hope i get some burst cd to catch up rogue on movement fights.
atm, i only have feral spirit, fire ele, and shamanism with t10 bonus. which is WEAK~
