Mists of Pandara Shaman Spells and Talents Update.

                                                  
           After a long layoff were back with another post for you guys. With Cataclysm drawing to a close and Mist of Pandaria inching ever closer, were starting to get more and more info on the new expansion, and how azeroths adventurers will take on this new land of "Pandaria," and also how the horde and alliance will welcome their new allies the Pandarin. 

         So Dig in my fellow shaman, as we take a look at what might await us in "Pandaria". And as with all alpha expansion and patch information everything is subject to change.
