Alright, my 53 Enh Shammy is my main, and I am by no means an expert in PVP, but I've played a lot of MMOs and in general, taking less damage to begin with is ALWAYS better in a quick PVP fight than being able to regenerate your health more quickly.
Less damage = good. But I'm pretty sure since SR is a buff, it can be dispelled or purged.

First off, consider that you have to make 2 key presses in order to effectively use NS. Only one for SR. That's lost time, as small as it may be. Secondly, consider that if the enemy uses any kind of CC or silence on you, you can't make the cast. So, you may see your health plummeting, and go to heal yourself with a NS + Healing Wave, only to find that you've stunned with very little health remaining. The following blow from the enemy may well do you in.
Have you ever heard of...macros?

But considering that SR is active for a whole 30 seconds and thus easily activated at the beginning of the fight, if you get hit by a silence or stun effect, you're still reducing damage coming to you. This gives you the opportunity to make a recovery after the effect wears off.
As above, easily countered with dispell or purge.
