So I watched your stream yesterday (in server time speaking) as well as your video. I have a question for you. You have one spec listed on your Twitch channel, and a different one on your youtube video. In neither do you explain why you chose A over B, or the circumstances surrounding it. I would assume it was raid needs as well as your gear set up. Please list this in the future as you are trying to guide players. The stream was a good quality, loved the jazz music btw xD -- In either case, I look forward to seeing more from you - either on twitch or youtube (or both!). I would highly recommend people interested in Enhancement Shaman give his channels a look over and a chance, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Kudo's to you eukal - Especially for sticking to your guns when the hate train stopped at your thread. Personally, I love enhancement shaman - but I also love healing (I played a priest on Nost <3 heals). So I'm going to pick up a Shaman this go around when the new pvp server opens up. I'm rather torn between resto and enhance, but honestly, I'm thinking of dps'ing this time. I love the amount of utility Shamans can bring - either to 5 man, Raid Content, or PvP respectively. I'm glad to have found your thread here and will watch your videos and make a personal judgement from there. Just wanted to say thanks for that. As for the whole "his dps was bad lemme show dem links" bs... Yes, trash dps is important - as someone else stated it determines overall clear time. Comparing a rare (blue) geared DPS to an epic (purple) geared one is ludicrous and just makes you look like a fool. Secondly, even if certain raids become farm content rather quickly in the grand scheme of things, Raid Leaders and Guild Leaders will be wanting to secure kills faster for the simple reason that: Faster Kills -> More Gear sooner -> Faster progression to more bosses -> etc. It's common sense, but I think that took a step to the back burner in some people's minds. I completely agree with you that bringing an Enhancement Shaman for Nightfall uptime is a great idea, as well as the increased / empowered (whichever word choice you prefer) totems to the group he / she is assigned (usually melee). Letting a Fury (for example) just go balls to the wall while having the utility melee (Enhance in this case) keep the nightfall uptime going is a lot better than having a Fury warrior take a loss for it. Not to mention that those extra off heals will save the healers a boatload over the course of a raid boss encounter. Just try to keep an open mind guys - Generally, the more creative people tend to get into the more progressive and bleeding edge raid teams over the "Look at my cookie cutting skills mom" kind. Raid Leaders will tend to recruit those who can think outside the box as opposed to those who refuse to see anything but a box. good luck and hope to see you all on the new server!
