I just hit 30 but I think the the spec is still good (nothing negative happened really in the 3.2 patch as far as I have noticed).
In patch 3.2 there were no changes to Elemental shamans specifically. If anything shamans got an overall buff with the new Call of the Elements, increased base HP (by very little but still), increased range of chain lighting jumps, and increase range of shock spells from 20 to 25 yrds.
So elemental just got a little better!
ya that ^^ lol, I was just to lazy to double check the patch notes, I love that call of the elements spell, and as a magic user I also love that
Totemic Recall
ability which removes whatever totems that are still out and gives you 25% of the mana to bring them out back to you :)

thanks for commenting... guides help make things easier to understand etc, even if a certain tree is "easy" info on things helps.

Wearing cloth gear as a Shaman is a non-issue outside of PvP. Even if you didn't have a shield to make up the marginal difference, the tiny amount of extra damage that you take in combat while soloing hardly matters.
But, of course, you do have a shield and mobs won't be pummeling you most of the time anyway. Cloth is fine. Leather and mail are obviously better, but it hardly matters.
Also, mana is a non-issue with Water Shield. All in all Elemental is a fine tree for leveling.
Is it faster than Enhancement? I think they are so close that they should be called equal*. Variables like gear will affect your leveling speed more than spec.
As for the argument (from the OP) that Elemental wins because of AoE grinding abilities, I don't see AoE grinding as part of any leveling strategy - assuming that strategy is focused on leveling as fast as possible. The way to do that is stack and chain quests all the way to 80, and only once in a while will AoE clearing be useful (never required) to accomplish that.
*I leveled Elemental before Water Shield, and at that time it was only slightly behind Enhancement in the hands of a competent player, due to occasionally having to drink. Now with Water Shield I can't imagine there's much difference between the two.
