GW vs. WS Spec

[erockj]

Hey guys I am wondering what your thoughts were on instant ghost wolf spec vs. 5sec wind sear spec. I am typically running lock/xdps in 3s. Any help would be appreciated.

My feeling is GW>all. Shear range is shit and the way it's going in arenas now, you'll get switched to in a second trying to stay close enough to shear. Even when it was 6 secs for all specs, hardly any shamans would/could use it on cd. Even if I'm going against a wizard team I'd rather have GW. I'd rather get to LoS at 100% run speed than crawl there while I'm getting blown up. It's just too good to not get IMO.

I would use GW over shear spec. The only situation where I think that shear spec would be superior would be in a 2s scenario where you need to shear a lot of heals or casts to win the match. However, the only time I've used shear spec in 3s was when I was playing KFC and we were playing against a shadowplay that was only beating us because I couldn't stop enough of their casts.
