You have changed Flametongue Weapon to grant spell pwr (as it was in Wotlk), however, that way you have made Frostbrand weapon absolete and not worth using almost ever.

See, Frostbrand weapon was enchant of choice for elemental shamans (and sometimes enh sham) in PVP and solo PVE

I suggest you give Frostbrand a passive buff to increas spell crit chane (by flat%). That way shamans could make a choice between spell dmg and spell crit and both weapon enchants would be used in game

If we're talking in terms of TBC; used for PvP? Sure. PvE? No. Double WF was the only imbue you used for PvE in TBC. Yes, Epoch has buffed Flametongue imbue (using the WotLK design of it), but you don't have Flamelash, and you don't have any real incentive to use FT imbue as Enhance atm. If anything it's just there for Elemental to have more passive spell damage at the moment. Currently, FB imbue is in fact better than FT when it comes to Enhance PvE. Largely because of its interaction with chance on-hit effects / phantom strike weapons. WF and FB can both proc off those things, but FT does not. Due to Epoch's custom changes to WF imbue, it's actually more attractive to currently run WF (MH) / FB (OH), rather than FT being used for anything Enhance related.

The weapon imbues have other legitimate bugs and tweaks required, this suggestion isn't necessarily bad, but it fails to properly weigh in the current behaviors and numbers of the Shaman imbues on Epoch. And ultimately, I'm sure all the Shaman imbues will see bug fixes and tweaks going forward anyway, because they're actually missing some of those at the moment.
