Major changes for Resto Shamans is the complete redesign of Echo of the Elements (EotE)
Talents
Echo of the Elements has been redesigned. Echo of the Elements now causes 
Earthquake, 
Fire Nova, 
Lava Burst, 
Lava Lash, 
Riptide, 
Spirit Link Totem, 
Stormstrike, and Unleash Life to have 2 charges. Other abilities that reset the cooldown of these abilities will instead grant 1 charge.EotE will be super important for restoration abilities since it will be putting Riptide, Spirit Link Totem, and Unleash Life to have 2 charges. Other abilities that reset the cooldown of these abilities will instead grant 1 charge. (Imagine the "Glyph of Purify Spirit" and its 2 charge effect on Purify dispels, it is how it will work).
Now, this seems to mean that EotE will be the default L60 tier of choice. No clue on how it will fare out for Elemental Blast (EB) and Anscestral Swiftness (AS) since clearly this new change is going to be far superior.
This is pretty good, in my opinion. All this may also mean that BRF will also be pretty intense if the CDs are being managed to have extra charges, especially a major CD like SLT.
Also,
Ancestral Guidance now triggers from all damage or healing dealt, including Multistrikes, instead of only direct damage or healing.
----------*-------------*--------------*----------------
In terms of the Tier 17 Armor Bonuses are subject to change - I want to find out how EotE will affect armor bonuses, if at all?
(Wowhead)
Item - Shaman T17 Restoration 2P Bonus: You have a chance when you cast Chain Heal to cast a second Chain Heal at one of the targets healed. Item - Shaman T17 Restoration 4P Bonus: When you gain Tidal Waves, you have a 8% chance to reduce the mana cost of Chain Heal by 75 for 10 sec.

Glyphs
Telluric Currents (Restoration) causes
Flame Shock,
Will this mean that Telluric currents will be viable once more?
