Surge of Shadowflare

Ok, so as I mentioned in a post on another thread, I love this spell now. With my extensions (I think have max AA on those, but don't really recall) it lasts 9 minutes. It doesn't tick down on swings anymore, just hits, and has 48 charges. At 2088 a pop (for rk 2) this comes out as 100,224 unresistable damage for 2632 mana. That's a damage/mana ratio over 38! You can easily hit 5-6 tanks with this before a raid and ooc regen back to full between each cast, meaning you add 500K-600K damage to the total raid damage at pretty much no cost to yourself.
Even soloing it's worth keeping up on your pet for the damage/mana ratio, which far exceeds that of any of our other spells. I normally don't crit for much more than 60K with spear, and that only gives you a 22.2 damage/mana ratio. No, this spell doesn't help with burns, but for sustained damage it's pretty nice even if it doesn't show up on parses.
