A few things regarding early levels of ENH

Hi guys,
A couple of years ago my first character which I levelled properly was an ENH shaman. I loved it but sadly he was later deleted. I have since tried just about every class and spec going but have decided to come full circle and roll another Shaman as I simply have not found any other class to rival Enhancement for its sheer fun factor. I literally just hit level 17 so before I push on I thought I'd read through the main guides here and just would like to get a few little bits on info just to allow me to tighten up my knowledge ;
As memory serves me the main stat I am looking for is AP, followed by AGI. Is this still the case?
I cannot fathom quite what weapon set up I am 'supposed' to use prior to duel wielding and getting Stormstrike. I see some Shamans running about with 2h axes (looks odd), but an equal amount yeilding a mace + shield combo. Which tends to be the prefered choice? (i do not have heirlooms btw).
Lastly, I intend to duel spec as Resto once I hit Outland and am rolling in the money. Having never healed before I would quite like to run some of the early dungeons as a healer just to get the feel of the role. Given this am I perhaps better off to just level as Ele for the time being? Given that SP and INT would be my focus stats? I would of course only do this up until Stormstrike and duel Weilding (when in my opinion ENH really kicks in).
Thanks for hearing me out guys and any input would be appreciated!

As soon as you get water shield, you are more than able to heal low level instances as enh. Just pack lots of water and don't be shy to yell "OOM" if tank goes on chainpulling like he is doing heroics as lvl80.
I would recomend getting a healing addon like Vuhdo or healbot or similar. Several good ones exist. Just to get the feel of healing.

As many people have said, low level Enh is a big 2H fest, if you can find a good one.
But a 1h/shield combo is viable at low levels, obviously, it's all your choice.
From experience a 2H is a lot faster killwise, but you'll be more likely to become overwhelmed if you face more than 2 mobs.
As for stats, AP is lacked in most low level gear, so get Agil or even Str gear, but if you see AP don't hesitate to pick it up.
Also I find Ele to be boring to level as, not that Enh is much more fun, but having to drink every few kills sure isn't amazing either ;)
I know this isn't really helpful, it's all preference as I say, I just can't stop typing when I start >_>

You might just want to do ele until 40. Playing an enh shaman before dual wield, stormstrike, lava lash, etc. sucks. Windfury procs are still fun though
When a person has choice to use mana or mostly ignore it, go for the ignore part. Sure it may be boring autoattacking until you get the cool skills, but it is better than drinking all the time. Once you hit 50, Elemental becomes decent since you have the mana regen ability.
