Many of the people who were formerly Storm or Flames swapped to Adders for achievements among other things, so there is that, Taint. Also many people have just stopped playing. I haven't really done an FL in weeks due to other things.

I really don't know where people get this "Maelstrom for wins" mentality. Are we on the same Primal Datacenter? Maelstrom plays abysmal in both Slaughter and Secure. It seems to attract the players that rather bash their head against the PLDs and WARs that ran up 1st instead of going after squishier targets half a dozen yalms away. Every Secure I get into (low-man now'a'days, mind you), people seem stuck on "only stay @ our OP and run up for drones (and still hang around after they're all dead)" mentality and then proceed to completely forget to return for big node.
I also can't recall a time in Slaughter where we're coordinated enough to stack Cometeors the same way I've been seeing Flames and Adders abusing it.
FYI, it's usually the same people doing the Cometeor thing every time, they just swap GCs. For the most part, it's because Storm seems to be stacked with tanks and melee, so you can't really even do that even if you wanted to. We have done it a bunch of times, but usually only with a premade where more people decide to go caster. We are able to win without the casters though when people listen which is nice.
