Really? How do you figure that? Because looking at the skill trees and seeing how Lightning storm and forked lightning works this power for Lightning specced Sorcerer's would be nearer to two on the priority list.

From leveling experience I can tell that this spell will be your main spam button as Lighting specced Sorcerer (3/31/7). Once you pick up all the relevant talents from the skill tree (level 32), this spell will start doing some great damage. In my opinion (no numbers to prove it unfortunately), when you face a strong mob start a fight with Affliction, then Thundering Blast, then spam Lightning Strike until you get an instant Chain Lightning or until Affliction crits and you get a 50% faster Force Lightning. Once TB is off CD, cast it again. Don't forget to keep Affliction rolling (TB will crit on a target with Affliction as well).

Leave Shock and Crushing Darkness for very situational use. Since both of those spells only get benefit from talents in Madness tree, it seems that they won't be a part of a raiding Lightning Sorcerer rotation.

Tier 1 Lightning buffs Crushing Darkness, and you should cast it as Lightning since it does a lot of damage. Shock is when you don't have other instants to youse or you want to stun a standard level bad guy.
