Yes and no. You can get multiple WF hits at the same time, i've had several over ten hits and my record so far is sixteen. But it doesn't behave like it's WF proccing another WF, more like that it stacks up and then gets released all at the same time. Because these massive WF hits with 5-10 hits in a row usually comes after a period of no WF activity at all, or even a couple of cool "wf animations" without the actual hits. WF is bugged shitless and is poorly scripted. I cannot script but I know how it should work atleast, and this is far from anything "blizzlike".
So. Basically you stand around getting chain WF procs but with no actual hits. They are continuosly being stored until they are all released at once: when you finally receive a normal non-WF proc. The problem seems to me all comes down to windfury and windfury totem not working instantly, but instead working on the next hit after receiving a proc. This is also the cause of the issue with warriors sword proc, and when they receive the windfury weapon buff. If warriors gain a windfury proc but use cleave or heroic strike, they effectively lose their windfury proc. It is interesting to me because i have not noticed hand of justice or other multiple hit items behaving in the same fashion as this. I'm surprised it has gone so long without being scripted properly. I've heard a lot of complaint about paladins being OP from horde players, but not enough complaints about how gimped shamans and shaman buffs are.
Melee shamans should be feared by the alliance for their incredible bursty nature. Instead they have to wait long periods of time in combat to achieve effective burst. I have never seen them to be effective primarily because of this bug.
