I have a feeling d/d ele is mostly dead in at lest wvw and maybe pve. So tempest should be talking over for melee mages.

In it’s current state? No. Maybe after some patches untill HoT or after people kitten and whine on forums for a couple of years.

The tempest line does not bring much unless you want to use

- shouts
- warhorn
- overloads

shouts are currently okay-ish. It depends on teamplay and group composition if they are useful. Using Warhorn did not feel as smooth as offhand dagger or focus – let aside the fact that you wont be running D/D then . Overloads currently do not fit the fast rotation style of D/D ele and rarely do more damage than dagger air/fire autoattacks. As there are no real traits that have some functions outside of the uses mentioned before, I dont think this will be useful for D/D.

By the way: “Will Temp t est change …” – was that spelling mistake intentional? because “Temp-Test” is probably a quite fitting nickname for that spec
