another thing im thinking is it will most likley be able to proc WF... i dont see why it wouldnt.
But it is a welcome addition to our rotation if you ask me
Actually I don't think it will proc wf, blizzard made it so wf totem stopped working with our teammates extra attacks I think, and left our stormstrike be so that it continued procing wf. My guess is they will make it so that it can not proc WF which sucks hopefuly they make these adjustments to the actual ability and not wf because it may also end up affecting storm strike which would suck.
It seems blizzard really wants us to consider ft on our OH, looking at the new enhancement shaman and how it will work and the nature of how all classes work now, enhancement shaman will rely heavily on our spells and our ability with spells come the expansion. With almost no reason to go into restoration and talents like Mental Dexterity, Metal Quickness, Lava Lash, Improved Stormstrike, Static Shock, and Mealstrom Weapon it seems like Blizzard really wants to push more elemental combvat on to enhancement and with changes to raw critical and hit bonuses affecting both melee and elemental attacks then it is much easier for a Enhancement shaman to pull off this form of combat.
Also if you take a look at earlier tree of elemental you will notice a big change here, Elemental Fury has been bumped up top a third Teir talent now and for 5 talent points now even a Enhancement shaman can make use of a 20/40/60/80/100% bonus to his Fire, Frost, and Nature spells critical damage by 100% (unless changed). Going 17 points deep into elemental as an enhancement shaman looks pretty reliable at this point:

Of all of our weapon imbues Flame tongue is the only other competitive option at 70 behind WF. The extra spell damage and the way it scales it can make a great way to improve DPS, as well as increase the damage we will perform with our other spells (flame shock, earth shock, and at 80 static shock and lava burst).
Now at 70 WF/WF will probably still be preferred but Lava Lash and the tacked on spell damage definitely make FT a more and more attractive option I would not be too surprised if at 80 WF/FT out dps WF/WF.
