Shaman talent changes from Classic to Forever

Classic Era gave the Shaman 46 talents. Forever keeps 38 of them — 8 word for word, 24 with a rewritten tooltip and 6 with the same sentence and different numbers — and renames 5, changes the rank count of 5, adds 12 new talents and leaves 8 out of the trees. Enhancement moved most: 6 new, 9 changed, 5 gone and 3 left exactly as in Classic. Each line below was read from the two clients and compared rank for rank; nothing is taken from patch notes.
