When you want to go into lunar eclipse to start pressing starfall, do you like having to cast wrath 2 times to go into lunar eclipse, and vise versa for solar eclipse? Me personally, if I have to aoe, I just want to press starfire, if I have to single target, I just want to press wrath. I don’t like having to press the opposite spell I don’t need to finally start pressing the button I do need for the specific situation I’m in.

Until Balance gets a rework it’s probably the only reason for Elune’s Chosen to cast anything outside of Starfire…
If Starfire proc’d Lunar Eclipse literally you’d only press Starfire until whatever your fighting is dead. Well until next week when they shifting the damage a little so you’d weave in a few Starsurge’s for Starlord and hopefully making the spenders deal actual damage.
But yeah Balance is in dire need of changes. But apparently this is the best they can do.

Short answer: No.
Long Answer: No. I far preferred the Empowerments system, in which you had to Double-DoT (Which I also think is outdated and clunky), and then used Starsurge to empower builders/fillers to choose from, befitting for the situation (At least that’s how I’d re-design it if it were to be brought back, make it 3 overall stacks but both the casts and the spender deal more dmg, DoTs – even stronger but shorter, etc. More weight and agency over the rotation)
I’m still using the non-Calling Elune’s Chosen, playing in Solar Eclipse. I still think it can work (I’m even using a more BG-shenanigans build, and I think it can even work in solo shuffle. I even went troll for it! Huge CD burst, yes, with a longer CD, but every round will reset it anyway 
Prolly any build will do up to near 2400, if you PvE enough 
).

No spamming one buttons during eclipse sucks. I also hate having to apply 2 dam dots every pull THEN get into eclipse. Its awful
Just compare the balance spec to the most similar spec elemental shaman… From rotation, cooldowns to kit\utility\defensives its just night and day.

Nope and with EC wrath only exists to get into eclipse. Also sucks that Starfire spam is the way to go and the spell has a long cast time.
Feels like vanilla frost mage in MC.

The long cast time of starfire is dreadful, wish there was a hero talent that reduced it but oh well.

The horrible thing, atleast Elune’s Chosen can opt into Warrior of Elune, 3 insta cast Starfires that generate 40% more Astral Power every 45 sec, but sadly if you go Keeper of the Grove you have to pick Force of Nature instead.
I wish I could select both as KotG, the insta cast Starfire’s are so good due to its long cast time not to mention it gives added mobility.
