Paladin!
No really, you might want to give enhancement a try. I'm not sure what your experience with shammy is or if you are raiding or anything, but I got to try the Enhancement Shaman changes at Blizzcon on the WOTLK beta deal, and it is pretty nice stuff, and there are a lot of new stuff they added since then that I haven't tried yet.
But Resto and Ele are always fun as well. Go on the PTR now and test them all out!

I did some digging around on the Armory site of the better Arena teams at talent builds. Most of the best shamans are resto. But of those that are not, I have yet to see one that is Enhancement and most of the Elemental builds Ive seen look similar to the one I use now.

Oh tisk tisk...
ok, most of what i have seen here is saying that enhancement is the bane of pvp... not true, i play an enhancement shaman.... i am decked in nearly all pvp epics however i still use lvl BG blue weapons. I run about 10.4k hp 1300 ap and 25% crit unbuffed... and i kick ass. elemental shaman... please, unless they are equallly gear'd they dont stand a chance. resto... you cant heal if your shocked stun'd and purged... now can you? I will give it to resto though they can give you a run for your money from time to time, rarely though do they intiate a fight and rarer still do i see an alli resto shaman. at least in my battle group. the new patch has only made enhancement stronger at that... Now once you hit abnout 25-30% crit rating and 9k+ hp focus strctly on AP cuase thats your dmg both melee and spl dmg (with the right spec) and mana conservation is not really an issue anymore between the water shield SR and mana totem.. i rarely run into a prob and the new ritual of refreshments that mages have... well there is no reason to ever be out of mana.
Elemental is very good too but very crit depentent. thus as stated previously very gear dependent. But if you are seriously worried about dieing then you should prob go elemental or resto. the way i see it though, is you're in a battle gruop the whole objective here is to kill the other player. sooner or later, your going to get ganged up on get used to it or get out.
and the point made about being able to stay alive as long as you have mana.. not always true between the stun locks and focus fire resto is only nice in pvp if you're good at staying un-noticed. But still a very fun way to play bg's if you dont mind or if you like staying in the back of the crowd.
I have played all spec's and over the last year and half of my fairly hardcore pvp grinding ( since i gave up raiding) i personally just like being up in someones face. that feeling standing over someone's corpse and typing /grin after you just down'd some jack@$$ who decided it would be cool to try and gank you from behind, yeah there is nothing quite like it with any other spec. at least not i have i found. elemental your trying to kite the jerk to death and resto RUN FER UR LIVES!
lol

I would like to amend my previous comment now that all +healing gear give some spl dmg as well resto does have some fighting capability but it too if very gear dependent as you will need alot of mana to keep you self healed and fight.
