Blizzard’s November 10 hotfixes cut Stormstrike to 100% weapon damage on an 8 sec cooldown, Mental Dexterity to 33/66/100% of Intellect and Maelstrom Weapon to 6 to 10 procs a minute. The game files do not hold these yet, so this page still ranks with the old values. It updates when they do. Blizzard’s notes

The first 30 seconds
When to press each one from the pull. The blue line under a press is the global cooldown (1.5 sec) or cast it holds: nothing else on the global cooldown can go until it ends, so of two that are ready together the higher one goes first.
