[REJECTED] [Shaman][Elemental] Lava Burst

[Erudax]

WoW Freakz spell link: https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=51505
Bug description: Damage slightly lower than intended.
Proof:
First of all, some informations for clarity.
All spells and abilities will crit for double damage, baseline. There are a few exceptions where crits can get larger, but the default is x 2.0 for everyone - That implies that Lava Burst deals 200% damage on a critical hit. Elemental Fury adds 100% additional damage (50% additional damage on crits) making it a total of 300% damage.

Now on to the proper report:
https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=51505 (wowhead link)
So from that changelog, we see that Lava Burst deals 1347-1488 + 90% of your spellpower as damage.
How it is at the moment:

^ Don't forget to also check the chat for maximum hit.
I have 38408 spellpower, let's do the math.
1347+34567.2(90% of 38408)=35914.2.
35914.2x3=107742.6 <-- That's minimum.
1488+34567.2 (90% of 38408)=36055.2.
36055.2x3=108165.6 <---- That's maximum.
It all sums up on Lava Burst dealing approximately 7000 less damage than it should. This bonus is obviously increased as proccs and better gear accumulate.
If I miscalculated somehow, feel free to correct me.

Try to test without Immerseus trinket, doubt you didn't calculate 10% more damage on crits, also it may be bugged atm. @Erudax

Edit: Also if you divide your Lava Burst crit(103417) to the base damage(no crits, 35914) it will show the multipler is 2.87 instead of 3.0

Re-tested, thank you. Had to disable the effects of my trinkets and 2p for additional clarity.

Elemental fury works differently. It doesn't increase crit dmg by 50% of that 200% but instead just ads 50% to that 200% making it 250%.

Elemental Fury Acquired at level 10. The 50% increase gives us 250% critical strikes, or 259% with 3% critical bonus meta gems.

If that is true, it means lava burst deals 10k more damage than it should

Done a few tests, searched long and far and couldn't find anything. There is a disparity in damage, around 10000, but I do not know from where it comes.
This topic will get rejected as I don't want to neither buff nor nerf it. I will re-open the topic when I have found the source.
Should you find it, PM me.
