I think haste stacked nether tempest, as frost or fire (fire sounds like it might be best) is the way to go.  It doesn't break fragile CC, amazingly (does not attack polymorphed targets)

Glyph choices are numerous, I think Poly/DF are mandatory-ish, third glyph can be anything - armors against cleaves, evo in 2v2, maybe even ice block?

When I was playing around with it last night it tended to break poly often and kinda had to mold using it around that (stacked healer and shit, one game this hunter ran into the pally i had polyd and broke him out). Maybe it's like mirrors lol. Speaking of glyphs ice lance is the shittttt with tempest.

Frost bomb gives a brain freeze proc. It is the only bomb that will be used.

So do all the other bombs. You even have a chance of getting chain brain freeze with tempest.

Nether tempest is the best talent for single target sustained damage, it's amazing for teams that train you, and it feeds good brain freeze procs, with the occasional 2-5 brain freezes in a row.  It's definitely the best choice for fire, and I like it for frost as well.


Also, for glyphs, Ice Block is amazing, as well as Frost Nova for melee teams.

Nether Tempest does not break polymorph, unless you cast it on a target that is sheeped, or you sheep a target that has NT on them and you don't have poly glyph.  Ice Lance glyph breaks sheep, that might be your culprit if you were trying to go ubercleave mode
