At lower levels, downtime can be a problem, but this is something that elemental shamans deal with at any level. One must simply remember to carry enough water whenever they are questing; leveling as an elemental shaman then becomes smooth and easy. At higher levels, after Water Shield becomes available, helping but not nullifying elemental shamans' troubles with mana regeneration. Since items with healing bonuses also grant spell damage, healer specs are not quite as hopeless in solo PvE as they used to be, but it is still not a recommended choice.
Damage output is still about half of what's possible with other builds, and this disadvantage is not made up for by the extreme survivability. Leveling with this type of build is only recommended when grouping frequently, and the group needs a dedicated healer remember that every shaman can off-heal.
Restoration used to be the only acceptable shaman build in raids , and is the most common one to this day. Chain Heal is the most mana efficient and universally usable group heal over all classes. As in solo play, this talent tree has high DPS potential if the shaman in question is well-geared. The challenge that enhancement shamans face is that they are, as other melee DPSers, completely gear-dependent.
A second one may get a spot in the tank group. Elemental shamans bring to a raid many buffs that greatly help caster groups. They are able to pump out massive numbers on DPS meters, and can often top them, with competition only from equally-geared Warlocks and Rogues. Almost any successful man raid incorporates at least one elemental shaman into a caster group. Elemental shamans may have difficulty getting spots in 5-man groups due to their lack of CC, but if the leader of the group is at all intelligent, he or she will realize that it is well worth it to sacrifice a bit of CC for the huge damage potential of a well-played elemental shaman.
They are very capable healers, while still having the ability to interrupt enemy CC's or heals. Among the healer classes, they are very survivable due to mail armor plus shield. Elemental generally fares better than enhancement in PvP. As all shamans do, however, they constantly face challenges with their lack of CC and anti-CC capabilities. It is well recognized that elemental shamans generally perform poorly against Rogues and in 2v2 arena matches.
The characteristics of this tree low mana usage and very high damage output remain the same in PvP. Unfortunately, the days of legendary Windfury proc one-shot kills are all but over anyone remember "Revenge of the Windfury", starring Creed and his Arcanite Reaper?
Nowadays, the common problem in PvP of all shamans hits melee builds particularly bad - they have no crowd control of their own, and are very susceptible to CC themselves. The following elemental builds all use restoration as secondary tree, mainly because the talents match well, and also because elemental gear usually has stats which help healing too turning the elemental shaman into a capable off-healer. In principle it would be possible to put the remaining points in enhancement, but there are no really good synergies between these trees.
Elemental is considered by some to be a poor choice as a leveling tree until Elemental Mastery becomes available at level However, the grind to level 40 can be done as an elemental shaman just as easily, if not more easily, than as an enhancement shaman. Casting spells makes elemental shamans less gear dependent than enhancement shamans, and as a result they often have an easier time taking on more difficult mobs.
Note that this particular talent spec is NOT ideal for level 70 PvP, see below for a more optimal spec. Raiding is different from small groups and solo play. Spell hit should be maxed, and threat reduction becomes essential. Also, the top elemental talent is less valuable than Nature's Swiftness in PvP.
The key advantages of this tree are very high DPS combined with good endurance.
