I rolled a shaman because I traditionally played druids, loved the hybrid/utility of them, but always got bored of levelling them. A shaman was just a natural next step for me.
What I love most about my shaman? The total ass-kicking I can dish out in either DPS spec (in PvE). Enhancement is something to behold, a totally unique style of DPS (melee spell power ftw), and elemental feels very mage-esque.
Edit: Also can't forget resto, my bread and butter. If you like healing in any kind of way, healing as a shaman is a blast. It may just be the most versatile healer in the game.

OMFG Froshaaawwwk!1! Vanilla days were great :D.
Anyways, I picked a shaman because I they were my favorite unit in Warcraft III. Throwing lightning and the whole 'master of the elements' bit really appealed to me.

Back when I started my shaman I loved Chain Lightning. Was my fav spell evar. Now I love my shaman cause I love hybrids.

Ive been playing all day, a draenei shaman and she is at level 16. Is there anything else I should know? Is it just me, or does lightning bolt cast really slow? What glyphs should I use and currently I am enhancement, should I try a different build? Any other tips would be really helpful, thanks.
In the early levels, yes, Lightning Bolt casts slow compared to other classes nukes (except perhaps a warlock's Shadowbolt, not 100% sure on that one). However, end game, it's a relatively faster main nuke, and you get to shoot 2 of them 20% of the time >:D
Edit: Also, other classes get the improved cast time talent for their main nuke at the top of their respective talent trees. Elemental Shaman don't get that luxury until much later.

I picked a shaman because I'd only played warrior, feral druid and rogue and was interested in a caster. Casters are squishy and anything that wears cloth makes me shudder just thinking about it...ew. So the shammie, with his mail armour, dual wielding, shields and out-and-out ass-kickery looked perfect for me.
Since then I've learned to love almost all my totems (Sentry totem? I mean really?) and the utility they bring to absolutely any group, and I've got elementals on a stick at my beck and call. Bloodlust is just made of win (despite the new stupid reversal of cooldown, grr). I play him as resto now, and as someone else pointed out, he's an amazingly flexible healer; I can go from raid to tank healing without breaking stride and chain heal is just so pretty when it goes bouncing around the room.
Still love my fury warrior main though ;)
Edit: only reason to try a different spec, in all honesty, is if you're finding yourself bored of stabbing things. You could always get 5/5 ancestral knowledge, 5/5 thundering strikes, 2/2 imp GW. That'll take you to level 21 as enhancement and give you the basis for an elemental build if you decide that you're not ejoying ehancement. Of course, the really good enhancement stuff is further down the tree and worth waiting for ;)
