Also i had a little problem when i just get 80 to put good DPS, i tried a lot of stuff, but i was unable to beat on the DPS meters one of my guildies who is also an Ele shaman. and i was a little bit more geared than him.
The only difference between us and him was that he doesn't had an offspec(dual spec).what the point?
it seem there is a bug that when you buy spell on one of your talent spec. (i was resto when i bought my new spell) it doesn't update the spell rank on your other spec. so i was using Lava burst rank 1 and Flame Shock rank 8 ....
i fixed that and never got any DPS problem

Flame Shock, Lava burst, Chain, LBx2/3 depending on haste rating, Lava Burst, Chain, Flame Shock. easy rotation but some shammies do
FS, LvB, LB, CL, LB, LB, LvB, CL, FS, for faster rotations. But depending on ur haste the dps can go down a little, also Key Bindings work good alot too.
Actually in a single target fight (*cough*BOSS) chain lightning isn't really worth it... It's damage is below what a lightning bolt will hit for due to shamanism, but I'm happy because they're changing it in 3.2.2 to also affect CL (if i recall correctly)
I just do FS LvB LBx4-5 LvB LBx5 repeat. then again, I'm "haste capped" (1.6 sec LB)

And telling me to get better gear is just stupid, gear doesn't fall from the sky you have to roll against 24 PEOPLE for it.
Actually that might be part of your problem... Elemental shamans fail at stacking, we don't receive spell power from any solid stat (int/spirit/stam etc).
We really excel off of gear, I can pull top 3 on a 25 ToC and I don't even raid regularly, but that probably has a little bit to do with my 4/5 t8.5 and a piece of t8.
In a 10-man, an elemental shaman really shines, but in a 25 there is a little bit of a tendency to get curb stomped. This is mostly because there aren't a lot of buffs that can help an elemental shaman. Most of them you bring yourself. Then look at an enhancement shaman and they're gaining spell power and attack power from anything. ANYTHING (dr00d buff, int buff, fish feast, MM hunter aura, their own totems, etc).

Not a huge deal, but CL hitting for 'below' what a LB would hit doesn't mean it's not worth casting because it does ... Cast faster!. It would be silly to not cast a 1.5 second spell because it hits for 1800, which is less than the 2000 your 2 second spell hits for.
The Shamanism talent change is twofold, Lightning Bolt's coefficent bonus is being bumped from 10% to 15%, and Chain Lightning is being bumped from 0% to 15%.
