Elemental shaman pvp

[Incartne]

Hey there. I am a elemental shaman and I need some pvp advice/spec changes. Please, be someone who knows what your talking about.
I may ask you for the link to your armory site/charecter name for reference :]

thats the link to my spec. AND FOR REFERENCE= I chose the 0.5 reduced cast time of healing wave instead of mana cost becuase of preference.

I have full Vengeful (I pvp so much that the pvp gems are cheaper than getting reguler gems.) and i have all +10 spell crit
At the moment, i do not have any enchants, since I am not rich, and becuase i dont want to farm the materials. I have Noob gear, (noob in epic) with
S3 Vengeful socketed +10 spell crit (Arena/BG)
Nathrezim Mindblade (Prince, Kara--Please note im still working for the vengeful weapon)
Chronicle of Dark Secrets (1st boss, Hyjal)
Ring of Ancient Knowledge x2 (Trash mobs, Black Temple)
Flashfire Girdle (Akama, Black Temple)
Footpads Of Madness(I think? ZA)
Xi'ri's Gift(Rep)
Horn of the Nexus (It procs a lot xD TK instance)
Ruby Drape of the Mysticant (Kara?, Prince? Forget!)
Adornment of Stolen Souls (Kara, Prince)


So. Thats my noob gear, mostly.
Now, a Elemental shaman basiclly has 3 spells. 2 have cooldowns. So, lightning bolt, chain lightning, shock, (and maybe a purge) repeat? Sounds a little too easy (though it works)
Elemental shamans are not (generally) good for one on one fights (Ive learned. In Arenas. Ive only got the gear i have becuase we had a rockin team xD)
Elemental Shamans can do a LOT of damage, if unchecked

i can list all my pvp stradagies, but that would be a big post.
so,
any idea?

May I suggest that you put this type of question in the shaman forum next time, you'll probably get a better response there.

All I can offer is:

as my shaman is level 8 lol.

I did elemental pvp for a time, as well as enhancement and resto, but I can give you my $.02c worth.

I ran with two specs, one full Elemental with some in enhancement and resto, not much mind you and I ran with a 40/21 elemental / resto hybrid spec.

I prefer the hybrid spec with restoration as it allowed me to switch roles in the group between dps to healer and back to dps.

Elemental, was for me, better at pvp since it somewhat negated the crowd control issue as you can blast from range instead of trying and failing to get up on the person to hit them.

Tactics were to stay with a group, I prefered playing defense myself, blast away and hope for crits. As a defender you have more options available to you than an offensive role since you can totem farm your position for the enemy who is approaching you, you can slow down flag runners (WSG) with frost shocks and earth binds, you can oust rogues with magma totems etc.. Also you can defend nodes (AB) with heals and quick shocks to stop flag turners, or use magma or searing totem for that next to the flag.

I never did arenas as the first time I tried i was completely locked down spell wise and was dead in a second.

1v1 on elemental is tough, you have to get creative with your totems there. Versus melee opponents, i liked the frost shock, kite around earthbind technique. Casters grounding totem's with earth shocks, unless its a warlock then your pretty much screwed.

that was my experience before i quit my shaman all together.
