New Spec, New EP
New Spec: 16/55/0
This is my pre-3.0.8 primarily-but-not-quite-totally-raiding-focused spec.
You'll notice I went into Static Shock. That was an easy switch for me and Lightning Shield is already out-pacing Lava Lash as of last night's Naxx25 run. Poor, poor Lava Lash, how I want to love you! How I wish you were killer so-totally-worth-it 36 point talent. But alas, lil' LL you are what you are: I use you only when I'm one proc away from getting that 5th Maelstrom Weapon or when everything else is on cooldown.
Anyway... Everything else is pretty straight forward as I have written about before. I sacrificed points in Unleashed Rage because we're now solidly in 25 mans and have 3 raiding hunters, and usually we have at least 2 in 25s and 1 in 10s. I put those 3 points in just for soloing purposes.
I really feel like the extra point in Ancestral Knowledge is wasted, as are the points in Convection. Even without Water Shield I did not have mana issues at all last night. Granted, Blessing of Wisdom on me and Judgment of Wisdom up on the boss make a big difference.
Once 3.0.8 hits I'll respec again and probably dive deeper into a pure raiding build. But for now with all my new gear and my new spec I have to recalculate my EP values. I have a feel it's time to hit the Expertise cap now that Hit is covered.
What are your specs? What's working for you?

I'm levelling with 10/56/0 http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=hi0hZhxgcoxdAIkubot and intend on putting the final points into Elemental Focus and some Elemental Fury.
This is because our raid environment is very unpredictable; some weeks we can have no warlocks, hunters, mages or a complete lack of a few classes.
I thought of taking toughness or anticipation, but I guess I'm not finding troubles soloing, so good old extra damage is what I'm going for.

I've been avoiding Static Shock because I've been worried about mana, but I went on my first raid the other night and had no mana issues at all, even going full out on Patchwerk.
So I think I might try out your spec but without Imp Ghost Wolf and maxing out Unleashed Rage :D
