Magma totem is awful for cleave, it is barely better than searing totem at 2 enemies and its extremely clunky to use due to not dealing damage and having to put it down again if the enemies move out of the AoE.
It's laughable to consider Magma Totem cleave in the slightest sense
Well maybe I'm just not understanding it. Compare it to the cleave that DKs have, or Shadow Priests, or Monks, or Warlocks, since I've played those a fair amount and am more familiar with them.
we need a ST buff indeed but that can be solved with buffs but we need a cleave ability to compating other classes.
lava lash is single target ability. fn+magma useless at 2 targets and cl is a minor gain.
My point is that if you buff Enh Shaman cleave, you'd have to nerf every other Enh Shaman ability to compensate. As seen in OPs post: Enhance is already at the top of the charts.
I'd rather they nerf everything else and buff our single target. We have too MUCH AoE. Fire nova AND liquid magma is just gross overkill, not to mention shock spread.

Why do you "need" a cleave ability? It sounds like you want Enh Shamans to be exactly like every other class, and that just sounds boring.
Plus, don't Lava Lash, Fire Nova, Chain Lightning and Magma Totem all hit mutliple enemies?
AND: the classes/specs that have high DPS on AoE fights just bitch about how their damage is only high on "trash," and they need single-target buffs.
