race: for healing orc for their racial. ES gains the greatest benefit from it because the + healing lasts all 10 charges. for enhancement orc for the +expertise. Elemental troll works well for their berseker racial in PvP but really any race works for elemental (tauren's warstomp is good for getting distance)
professions: most wont help you out a ton. when that happens i usually default to enchanting and a gathering profession myself

Draenei shaman is nice because of Gift of the naaru, which takes benefit from +healing too.

Plus, most shamans have problems with rogues and Orcs get 15% stun resistance.

Tauren, then you would have a CC. Not to mention Tauren just look cool as Shamans.

Tauren is the only race you should choose. War Stomp is too good to miss.
Professions are hard to choose. If you put some effort into mining, it and jewelcrafting would be nice.

Well, after all it's your choice to decide which race...
Orc
15% Passive Resistance to Stun
Great against Rogues, which most shammies struggle against.
Bloodfury
(Level*4)+2 = Attack power gained.
(Level*2)+3 = Spell damage/healing gained.
Which is 282 Attack power and 143 healing and spell damage gained at level 70.
This is great for both DPS and healing (Plus your shields gain this effect too)
Despite reducing healing on you by 50% this is an amazing talent
Axe Specialization
+1% Crit Chance to Axes (1h and 2h)
Tauren
War Stomp
0.5 Sec cast time ability which stuns 5 nearby enemies (Have to be within melee range) for 2 seconds, which is just enough for 1 healing wave.
Nature Resistance + 10
Meh.
Endurance
Total HP increased by 5%, so for example 8k HP would be 400hp bonus.
Clutivation
+15 to herbalism. Irrelevant if you're not a herbalist :]
Troll
Troll Regeneration
HP Regen rate increased by 10% and 10% may continue to regen in combat
Beserking
Increase casting + attack speed by 10% to 30% depending on how injured you are. Costs 6% of base mana. Awesome, since you can activate this on low hp then heal yourself and I believe it retains the origonal stats
(Prove me wrong?)

I have a lowbie Orc shaman simply because they appealed the most to me.
