From Ghostcrawler, between patch 3.0.3 and 3.0.8 elemental shamans should see 'a total of about 20%' more DPS, depending on gear. Since they announced their 3.0.4 talent changes for the spec, they've made more changes which are currently live on the PTR for 3.0.8, and they estimate that each round of changes should increase DPS by about 10-12%, combining for the 20% estimate.

Since these changes haven't gone live yet, your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not they'll all combine to meet or even exceed GC's predictions. Now all we need is to either fix mail itemization for elemental or let our friendly caster shaman get leather items drama free, and elemental will be in a good place. Great Shammys get DPS buffs, Death Knights get DPS buffs and Hunters get a bug fat Major Nurf. Yeah Blizzard this sounds right.

More love to Rogues? Most Rogue faults are mainly minor flaws or annoyances compared to other classes that are in need of some tuning. Rogues are number heavy, and very hard to make changes for without swinging the DPS wildly with seemingly minor changes. When you see rogue changes of any significance, it will be a complete overhaul of the class, not one or two tweaks at a time.

From wowinsider we have more hot news and features:
If you care about that sort of thing, Arena season 5 started last week. We have a few answers to your questions and a quick overview of getting PvP gear (Yes, welfare gear is back) to get you started on the road to riches and fame, or at least to a cool title and some resilience gear.

If you like to PvP, but Arenas aren't quite your thing, check out our latest Wrath 101 installment on Wintergrasp. If that's not enough, The Art of War(craft) has even more Wintergrasp info for you.

As always, be sure to check The Queue for the answers to questions varied and sundry, weird and commonplace alike. And remember, if you don't see your big or small WoW question answered yet, you can always ask in the comments of the latest edition of The Queue.

Here's a sort of loaded question: Do WoW players make bad employees? Apparently, some corporate headhunters think so.

But seriously, if you really want some controversy, how about those ads on the official forums?
Okay, one last controversial thing: Is Shoe Shock the answer to Elemental Shaman balance woes?

Class News and Guides
Druid tanks are getting some extra attention from the devs this week. Among the new changes for them is a massive increase to Swipe threat. But is it enough? That's still up for debate.
Encrypted Text this week chats with a few pillars of the Rogue community. For Shamans, Totem Talk looks at some of the high end Northrend 5-man dungeons through a Shaman's eyes.

Here's some good 3.0.8 news for non-tanking Paladins: Judgment of Light's threat will be going bye-bye. Also in welcome non-tanking Paladin news: Yes, you can has plate healing goggles.

Mages may find this news more of an annoyance than a joy: Slow Fall will be castable on others in 3.0.8.

On that note, Mages, maybe you'd rather just show this Mage gift guide to anyone demanding you cast Slow Fall on them.

Here's some interesting news for Death Knight tanks, and maybe for the odd crazy Fury Warrior: Tanking-oriented 2-handed weapons are coming in 3.0.8.

Wanna know more about the patch 3.0.8? if we catch the new info again, we will post it here, don't be so worried, thanks!
