I thenk the whole shaman community is waiting on this. I will be postings how this effects us as soon as we get a blue post as to what will happen with the 2 piece.

I was thinking if it doesn't change the set bonus it would just make room for the lava burst glyph that no one will use now til what, like 3k spell power?

In a blue post from Ghost Crawler they are not changing teh 2 piece bonus and feel most shamans will out grow this eventually.

Outgrow the set bonus? or the glyph? I would think he'd mean the set bonus but I don't like that they assume everyone will be wearing 4 piece t9 (or really good new epics to eclipse the current t8) soon during this "outgrowing process" to break the 2 piece tier 8. I will have to check out that thread.
