It seems the US Forums have exploded in another round of Dot Shocks, apparently this time because of the change to Elemental's 4-piece set bonus. Currently, the set bonus reads:
"Gives you a 70% chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while casting Lightning Bolt."
However, currently on the 2.4 PTR, it has been nerfed to only 50%.
I can see why Shaman are upset. I mean, we've had something that is a big issue for us (spell pushback) being nerfed, without any rhyme or reason. We don't even get a talent to compensate for this though, so its pretty much a direct nerf on Shaman PvP effectiveness (on our "Strongest" spec in the most "balanced" setting, 5v5) as well as solo play. It seems really unreasonable for Blizzard to have made this change, and without a hint as to why they did it.
It seems there may be many more Shaman banned from the forums and quitting because of this. Not because of this change itself, but because of the ever increasing anger people are feeling each time news of the 2.4 PTR reveals itself. I'd like to think Blizzard will redeem itself, but that's likely not going to happen until Wrath of the Lich King, if at all. (And I certainly hope they prove me wrong)

Blizz will never ever admit to fault for anything. Which means they will most likely never fix shamans. They have already told us we are the most balanced class, which pretty much means working as intended.
