Bloodlust is by far the ultimate spell for a shaman. For less than 1,000 mana, at an instant cast no less, the shaman can increase the melee and ranged attack speed, as well as reduce the casting time, of EVERYONE in their party by 30%. For 40 seconds. That's just insane. You can kill a 5 man boss in less than 40 seconds.
This spell can take Lightning Bolt's cast time down to 1.4 seconds (if you're Elemental, of course). Chain lightning goes down to 1 second.
Not to mention the lore and love behind the spell. This spell has been a staple to Warcraft games since Warcraft II. I myself am overjoyed to see it finally implemented. I feel like a real shaman, now.
