Restoration shaman healer talent builds and glyphs — wrath of the lich king classic

Wrath Classic (WOTLK) Enhancement (Spellhance) Shaman Rotation

Enhancement Shamans have a rotation with a lot of spells, and little downtime. There will always be something to for you to do every GCD, and using your

Maelstrom Weapon
