Elemental Shamans as kickers

Elemental Shamans stop 21% of the high-priority enemy casts they meet with their interrupt ready. Across every spec with an interrupt it is 12%.

A chance is a cast from a kick list, begun while the player was alive, free to act, had their kick off cooldown and stood within its range. The combat log has no line of sight, so a pillar may have been in the way.
