Ah, I was wondering if they have removed that stupid 3sec CD that was implemented in the PTR. I see they have it removed.
If you are referring to WF then no, the 3 sec CD is still in place. When I refer to getting back to back procs it's in PvP with a 2 hander (so slower than 3.0).

The nerf-us-overall-in-order-to-buff-certain-skills approach that Blizzard took in the last patch did not just make Lightning Overload good. You're more or less forced to pick it up now if you want to produce any significant amount of DPS.
Agreed, the changes make LO necessary for Elemental viability (even for non-raiders) which seems a little unfair to me. I understand a high end talent being necessary for a specific role (eg ToW for raiding) but to have something that deep in the tree that is basically compulsory for any role really limits Elemental flexibility. Blizz should perhaps have buffed LO a little less (say 10% proc) and left the coefficients/cast times on LB/CL the way they were.
Anyway it's done now and we'll have to make the most of it. In 6 months 90% of Shammy's won't even remember it was ever different.
