In PvE, elemental is a lot more gear dependant than enhancement and you won't see great DPS until you get great gear.
I have to disagree. I was pulling 2.5k dps in northrend greens/blues as elemental, but couldn't hit that as enh until I was deep into heroic gearing.

Ele shammys are fun to play and its rotation is pretty straight forward.
1: Flameshock
2: Lava Burst (instant crit with the flame shock applied to the target)
3: Lightning bolt
4: Chain Lightning (if you are fighting 2+ mobs and/or you are in a heroic that the tank is tanking a group of trash, just use it sparsely due to its mana cost)
5: Refresh Flame Shock
6: Rinse and repeat
Totems are cool also, but make sure to never use them unless you are fighting an elite or a boss, otherwise its just a waste of mana, not to mention water shield, keep it on all the time for more mana regen.

meh ... 25K Frostfire Bolt ...
that said, I prefer my Elemental to my Mage (in any spec). Almost as much dps, much more raid utility.
Like to see you get 25k crits in pvp.

However, what I like most is not the pew pew, but the raid utility. Healing and DPS can all get buffed. Cleansing totems and tremor totems turn tricky situations into a piece of cake. Less trouble for the healer, less effort for the tank to regain aggro, all sorts of things that just make raids go more smoothly. Of course, any shaman can do that, not just elemental.
This is what I like most about shamans too. I did Naxx for the first time ever the other night and I was the only shaman in the raid. Needless to say, I was one of the MVPs.
