Up until now I've been sort of winging it and doing what works best for my individual PvE play style. But after reading some various FAQs, I've realized I was focusing on the wrong stats for an Enhancement build. I've been grabbing gear that has +Spell Dmg/+Healing, +INT, +STA and +Spell Crit, rather than focusing on +STR, +Crit, and other melee stats. I've at least been doing pretty good with this setup, but I'm wondering if things would go alot smoother if I switched over to more melee stats and stopped worrying about spell dmg.
With my play style I tend to pull with Lightning bolt x2, then slap a Flame Shock, then slap a Stormstrike, then hit with an Earth Shock, so my playstyle is somewhat spell heavy even though I'm using a melee based build. Usually the mob only has about 15-20% life left by then if I can land a spell crit in the list above. But I'm finding that sometimes(on mobs above my level) if I don't get at least one spell crit in there, it takes a while for the mob to go down cause I miss a decent amount with my melee hits which keeps WF from being able to proc as often, which in turn screws up my overall damage. So if any of you guys could offer some input it would be appreciated. I've thought about switching over to Elemental spec since I've got all the gear for it, but would that be a better choice or is Enhancement still easiest and most fun to level with?
Since I'm getting closer to raiding levels I'm looking to correct any inequities and errors that I may have done and make my Shammy the most efficient possible. I'm pretty open to any suggestions you guys can offer to help me fix any issues with my setup.
Here is my build (I know its screwy):Dragon's Enhancement Build
Thanks in advance for any input you guys can offer to help me fix my setup. :)

Seems like your playstyle is perfectly suited for an Elemental spec, that's what I would suggest. (If you haven't sold/de'd your old spell dmg gear yet). Enhancment is much less of a mana-intense spec, where you usually don't pull or use spells to farm and kill mobs, just saving the mana to heal or shock spells.
It looks like you're 63, so you should have or be very close to Water shield, meaning you should never run out of mana again as either spec while leveling. As Enhancement you should be walking up to a mob, stormstrike, whittle it down with melee then heal afterwards. When I was leveling I'd stick down a strength of earth and mana regen and pull mobs towards me with flame shock, then kill them near the totems so i'd get the benefit for the group of mobs i'd kill.
What's your melee gear look like? Cause with 6% hit from talents even Dual Weild shouldn't be that bad.

I guess its not so much that I miss alot but that my swings to very little dmg, my main hand does a decent amount but my OH sucks tbh. I think if I just switch up some of my gear for some melee buffs, it should increase my damage a bit and fix my problem. What about my build anything that I shouldn't waste points on?
Here is my gear btw:
