Shaman are spiritual guides and practitioners, not of the divine, but of the very elements. Unlike some other mystics, shaman commune with forces that are not strictly benevolent. The elements are chaotic, and left to their own devices, they rage against one another in unending primal fury. It is the call of the shaman to bring balance to this chaos. Acting as moderators among earth, fire, water, and air, shaman summon totems that focus the elements to support the shaman’s allies or punish those who threaten them.

These masters of the elements can also call upon elemental forces directly, unleashing torrents of lava and bolts of lightning against foes. The elements can create, destroy, support, and hinder.

The experienced shaman balances the vast spectrum of these primordial forces into an array of diverse abilities, making shaman versatile heroes and valued members of any group.

@Meldore: Enhancement is fun to level, You never run out of mana, you can solo things, Maelstorm order makes your casting spells instant -like Greater Healing Wave. And feral wolves are awesome.
Back when WotLK was introduced and DKs were "op" I managed to kill in outland dk with 2 more levels without feral wolves :D
But now it seems that restoration is the most powerful - it's also fun healing specc.

@Aragin: I would say tauren for pvp, that warstomp gives you a free cast healing spell or a getaway when being trained. PVE maybe orc because of the racial

The cool thing abiout Elemental shaman is that spirit is turned into hit so you never need to cap hit in your gear :) never need to have spirit capped either just have some gear with spirit and you never "Miss" and you shouldn't run out of mana that fast ;) Tho i gotta say Earthquake and Magma Totem sucks !@# .. my currently dps is 11-16k if you can help me to get more then please reply ;)
