I leveled my shaman as enhance till 70 when i switched to elemental. Leveling I did a lot of pvp. At 70 i did mostly raiding and a small amount of arenas/Bgs. I didnt care for pvp too much as elemental, except for TS near the flag in the eye and watching a bunch of allies get blown off the sides. So I switched back to enhance. I pulled out all my old 70 gear and a couple blues that I had saved from NR dungeons. I tested out my spec and headed into a bg.
What I found out was my weapons sucked. I had a guildie make me 2 furious saronite beatsticks. I didnt look at the speed of them when he said he could make them. After a few fights I changed back to my old gladiators axe. My damage went up quite a bit. Since then Ive managed to get greed from CoS and craft myself the entire swiftarrow set, and purchase 1 of the pvp rings. 15 more emblems and I will have pride in my offhand. There are still more items i need to replace, and i am working on them, im just unlucky with drops.
With all these changes and upgrades ive made, I still feel like im a gimp. I remember being able to blow through masses of enemies and only having to heal a couple of times before moving on to the next wave of allies. Now it seems that every 3 swings and im casting a heal. I know its lvl 80 and my gear is still subpar, but I feel that if a lvl 50 ret pally came at me I would be severely beaten. Does this seem to be how it is for enhance now, or is it just my gear, or in my head? I normally open with SS then ES LL, drop a totem repeat SS ES LL. I purge like a bulimic, and use WF/FT on my weapons. I use the wolves when needed and change up my totems on the fly depending on what class im fighting. Although the only one that i drop for DK is cleansing. Everything else seems like a waste, because they usually kill me before I can get the third totem down if Im not fighting back.
Is there anything I chould change in my rotation [link=spec]http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=The+Venture+Co&n=Voltaic/[/link] or gear that would help me out?
