Getting the first hit sometimes in the fight makes a difference, especially if it's a critical strike. If Lightning Overload also happens to proc...

This talent is good to have since you can attack first, from a longer distance.

This is something to get in PvP. As the poster above said, getting the first hit is really important.

In PvE this talent is probably less usefull.

Comment by RayMkII

The extra range is always nice. More useful in PvP from my experience, though.

Comment by DELPylon

Must-have for PvP. But also recommended in PvE with many boss fights in TBC (see Al'ar, Kael'Thas, Leotheras etc.) being quite mobile. Having this talents means you don't have to run around as much before starting to nuke. Well worth giving up 2/5 Unrelenting Storm for unless you're struggling down to your very last mana point.

Comment by Devinicus

As with ALL specs, range increases are most useful in PvP and less so in PvE. If, however, you have the points available in your build, this talent is absolutely wonderful.

A great talent to use while levelling as well. As a Lvl75 Ele Shaman using the full range of this talent I've noticed my killing blows come when the mob is almost on top of me. Which means this skill prevented me from taking any damage at all.

For dungeons and raids this is a great boon in high mobility fights. Allowing them extra few yards to fire off another spell before catching up to the boss again.

With Totemic Wrath, shaman will be able to use Searing Totem and still get their spell buff. This talent helps with the otherwise short range of the totem (which will sit around doing not alot otherwise, especialy on the more mobile fights).
