And this is a really tough one, its a shock, but the first turn it deals 5 (more than often to the face), if you add up the values of 4 lightning bolts (12 damage) and compare it with 3 of these with 1 curved (11 damage) I dont see it realy broken, however of course most games you will not cast 4, maybe not even 3, so the damage from this things can be consistently better, my big question is, should i bring this one down from 5 damage curved to 4 damage curved? Does it seem weak that way?

Not at all. It would do fine at 4. Wizards did it with Groundswell, and Galvanic Blast, in order to make sure you utilized Landfall and Metalcraft, respectively.
