Ultimate Cave Shaman post TOA SC layout

[Joshll]

This is the best SC layout I can get with the stuff I already have.
If you have suggestions, the stat I'd like to improve most is the %casting speed bonus. But I won't give up my resists for that.

(Note this would be even better if you substitute in the Cloudsong Cloak artifact which has almost the same but better stats than the Cloak of Flowing Fire. With Cloudsong you also get a pulse that gives all realmmates 5% greater chance to land spells. Along with the self 5% from the Belt of Moon hammer below, thats nice!)
