First post on this forum i just wanted to know the pros and cons of me switching to Enhance from elemental spec.

For a little background: I leveled an enhance from 1-65 then switched to Elemental because everyone said that their damage is crazy.
Well so far its been doing great but the spec is boring all you do all day is thrown LBs all day.
I want to roll my spec to be great at DPS and also rock in Arena.
So far my team is great but i can't do anything if i have no mana in arena i always lose all my mana or in some cases i dont use any at all because the other has me stunlocked or silenced.
I'm also now keyed for kara and my guild seems to be doing great this coming sat we are going to kill Terestian Illhoof, Netherspite, Chess, and Prince Malchezaar.
These bosses drop some crazy enhancer items should i start saving my arena points for season 3? and should i roll on these items (yes i have told my guild i want to switch)

Please answer the following Questions:
1. Am i going to be doing the Same amount of DPS?
2. PvP wise will i be doing ok?
3. Can any1 recommend a good Talent Build?
4. Will i be picked over other classes?
5. Should i start saving for S3 Arena items?

Here is what i currently have:

PS: Any1 know when the new season going to start?

well it may be too late with your gear but consider resto for arena- earth shield does wonders with natures guardian you can out last the stunlocks- they cna't take u down nearly as fast-as enhance just like you I was stunlocked and blown away in 5 seconds every time- now with my junky gear I'm almost 1700- as resto u have time to be of some use healin, mana tide, etc- enhance is much harder to win with in arena check the leaderboards and see how many enhance shammys u see- but patch 2.3 will help-
ps if you've never had earth shield and natures guard you won't believe how much tougher you are to take down- try it you'll love it
- ignore the goofy spec I screwed up and accidently hit shield spec and haven't bothered to go back and fix it

elemental = LB spam
Enh = Shock+SS spam
Not really a lot different besides that elementals get to push the buttons more often...
Resto is healing, and healing is reacting to the situation.
Thus, in my opinion resto looks a lot more challenging and entertaining, not to mention its usually better then just another dps.

No. I would say it's statistically impossible for you to be doing the same amount of DPS as Enhancement as Elemental. You might do more, you might do less. But if you're asking if the potential is there for amazing DPS as Enhancement, then yes, it most certainly is.

2. PvP wise will i be doing ok?

No, probably not. Enhancement Shaman suffer from several crippling drawbacks in PvP, most notably a lack of mobility. If you can manage to stay on top of someone for any appreciable length of time you can maul them, but without an intercept-esque talent or the means to deal with snare/root effects, it's fairly easy to keep an Enhancement Shaman kited for any durations they're not under CC effects, often trivializing their outstanding damage potential.

For PvE? With the buffs and damage you can provide, you damn well should be if people know their classes. For arena PvP? Unlikely at best outside of friends or guildmates.
