Waste of good stats that can be placed elsewhere, any good raiding guild know that they need to have a Spriest or a Balance druid at all times to buff their dps, sure it aint hard to get those 3% extra on your own but it's a complete waste and loss of dps.
I'm a hordeshaman i know very well that i'm way over the hitcap wich is 289. (char in sig)
do not listen to people that wants you to get more spellhit than 263 wich i belive is the dranei hitcap.
other than that it's just about your own judgement you can loose dps on wait out a LVB Cd but you can also loose dps on casting until it's up depending on your LB cast speed and how long your LVB cd is you gotta choose on your own then it's just stand on the right places so you don't have to move that much since we elemental shamans tend to loose alot of dps when we need to move alot.
This is what i do atleast and it works great for me
edit:
try get less items with spirit and remove the mp5 gem from your bracers and start working on sons of hodir

Hey people
i got a problem with my dps too. i got hit capped today, and at 369 now, thanks to a trinket im using.
i get 1503 SP unbuffed, 412 haste and 18.46% crit (+5 from talents)
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Frostmourne&n=Ponzie
I've been to few raids, and tried on heroic dummies too, but i have not been able to get my dps beyond 2.3k or so. most of the time its like 2k
and i use this rotation on bosses/mobs :
FS > LvB> LB LB LB LB > CL > FS refresh > LvB ... continued..
but im still stuck as to where my dps is lacking.
could someone help me out here.
my glyphs and talents are pretty much the default stuff.
looking forward to some good replies
thanks in advance

Here is your Rotation
FS, LB Until LvB CD then LvB LB's again until before FS ends you want to refresh your FS depending on CD on LvB and your best judgement you will do a LB or wait to do a LvB
Edits with speccs glyphs
First edit:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#hEh0qcdItGfzAo0xxco:kpboMm
this specc is what you need to fix
You need to fix your gear you are 80 Hitrate above hitcap you need to have 289 hitrate no more
Remove the gear with spirit you have
Fix a belt Buckle
Enchant your gear
Get sons of hodir shoulder enchant
Kirin tor head enchant
You should go read
Binkenstein's Guide to Elemental shaman
http://elitistjerks.com/f47/t20914-shaman_elemental/
Change your Totem into Totem of Hex also while you are at it.

thanks for the heads up. i got teh shoulder enchant, putting KT head enchant soon.
my talent spec is same as what u linked, and i tried out the rotation u posted.
not much imporvement. im still in the 2.3k zone
maybe i need better gear or somewhat?
Post by
oromis123
EDIT:
did a few gear changes
changed my belt for something without spirit. got a new chest item from malygos25.
enchanted my shoulders, and going to get head enchant soon.
but im still staying within like 2.1k range.
should i stack spell power from now on, or maybe crit./haste?

*bump*
erm, i got major gear upgrades 4/5 t7 now, enchanted most of it, and gemmed too.
but im still getting a lousy 2.1k dps.
i threw away some hit, tweaked around with my rotation a bit, and even used a ele shaman simulator, and it says i should be doing like 3.1k dps or so, with my current gear and rotation.

Well I also play an ele shaman and on simple boss fights like Patchwerk I normally pull around 3.6k ish dps. And trash pulls i get around 5k. Normally in an overall Naxx25 I'm around 3.3k. I'm normally around 3rd on Recount behind a mage and a warlock I raid with.
Just make sure you have Totem of Wrath and Wrath of Air and dont worry about refreshing your water sheild in fights becuase it just procs a GCD. And dont stop and wait for a LvB unless you literally only have .25 seconds left on the CD.
Also watching videos of people explaining stuff on youtube can help out quite a bit.

Elemental shaman is one of the simplest dps classes in the game. As a draenei your a bit over the hit cap (you need 10%) but otherwise you look solid. Try to replace the gear you have with +spirit for something more 'ele friendly' but I don't see how 4k is a particularly low amount for your gear level.
Elemental shamans do less dps then most raiding casters because they scale badly (the only real benefit you get from buffs from other raid members is 13% spell dam and 3% hit.)
The rotation is simple, just keep FS on the target at all times, and throw in a lavaburst when the cooldown is up, otherwise your spamming lightning bolts.

Aye, Ele Shamans need fixing. I saw an Ele Shaman doing 4.5k DPS on heroic Emalon wearing 4/5 Conq, with a mix of ilvl 226 and above items. He wore a couple of 213 iirc.
Itemization would be cool =)

Just started raiding with my Shaman and got a question.
