It's a very marginal increase, only 150~200dps fully raid buffed, so on a dummy for example it might not even be noticeable, but it shouldn't be a dps drop.

While I'm no paragon of Shaman knowledge nor a hardcore raider, I'll throw my view into the ring regardless:
I go with the following:
Running start (outside of melee range)
Totems
Unleash Elements
Flame Shock (should be in melee range by here)
Feral Spirits (though I may toss them out first and send them after the boss right after dropping totems)
Storm Strike
Lava Lash (this comes second only because of how my SS/LL macro is set up)
After that, its just a matter of keeping Searing Totem up, pelting the target with Lightning Bolts when I hit MWx5, trying to make sure my UE is on before I Flame Shock, and working SS & LL for all they're worth.
... though it feels like I'm forgetting something (outside of wasting global cooldowns on refreshing Lightning Shield... old habits die hard).
All that being said: I'll trust in soccer for the #s on this one, and believe that while it may be a decrease, it won't be a significant one in the long run.

I know many folks are now saying SS is our #2 priority, but I am finding my dps lower leading with it.
Something like
ST
SS
LL
FS w/Buff
Elements
etc
etc
I am finding that lower than LL before SS. Ie 4.1 rot
What have you guys found?
You're argument doesn't make sense to me.
You say that Stormstrike is recommended at second on priority, but that leading with it is a drop in dps, which is not an instance for "but", as it supports the previous statement, not refute it.

please type out the full word 'Rotation' as rot is a horrible word and against Shamanism

with patch 4.2.....my stormstrike does 400% weapon dmg....with glyphs and the extra boost to it with patch....so its viable in rotation for dps....what they did wrong was giving primal strike and stormstrike the same cooldown....you used to be able to primal strike, stormstrike, lava lash.... also adding a flameshock on target, and using some dmg spells helps dps when youre melee attacks are on cooldown....

You have never been able to use Primal Strike and Stormstrike right after one another, as they have always shared a cooldown, Primal Strike was added so that low level Enhancement Shamans could have a decent ability but it wouldn't be as strong as Stormstrike is. Get your false information out of here.
Not to mention that "using some dmg spells helps dps when youre melee attacks are on cooldown..." is doing it wrong.
Melee spec means you should be whacking away with weapons. If you wanna spell cast, go elemental.
