Question for twink shammyFollow

I can't remember all the gear that I was using at the time when I did a lot of pvp at the lvl 49 range. I know I did use the icemail jerking with +100 hp and usually DW wirt's third leg and hammer of the northern wind. I went cheap and put firey damage on both weapons.I was uing pretty much this set up with my talents. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/shaman/talents.html
A lot of people will tell you that 2 handers are the way to go in pvp for the burst damage. It really works well when WF procs, especially if it crits. However, I'm just a bigger fan of DW. I usually ran with WF on both weapons.
As far as stats go, Str should be your numberone priority. 1 str = 2 ap
The more ap you have, the more damage you will do with not only mele attacks, but also with spells. Mental quickness will convert a % of your ap into +spell dmg and +healing. After str, I would go for more STA for survivability, then agi then int.

You don't have to pay for 3x epics. Soulkeeper, 50g, best 49 twink 2-hander there is at that level for a shammy.

Yes, you can switch weapons in combat, though it triggers a global cooldown.

As for leveling enhance, it's going pretty smoothly for me. Almost level 29. it's no hunter, but it's still pretty easy. I'm going to assume it gets a ton better once Windfury enters the picture.

What weapon buff would you use with Flurry Axe if you are DWing them? Most everyone says that the best buff combo is WF/WF. However, those same people say that you should use weapons with 2.6 speed. This is due to the 3 second hidden cooldown on WF procs. Also, since you only receive 1/2 damage on off hand weapon attacks and the lower damage cap on Flurry Axe, you aren't going to be getting huge hits/crits. I'm assuming, you will be frost shocking and dropping earth bind totems to limit your enemies movement, I would say that you won't be using the frostbrand buff. I believe the added dps from rockbiter is lowered by your opponents armor. So that leaves flametoung. That would give you good steady dps that bypasses armor, but has a chance to be resisted.
If you decided to DW Flurry Axes, please let me know how it goes. I was very tempted to spend the gold on a pair at that level, but decided to save up for my epic mount instead. I would be interested to know how they perform.

I would take Kang and only two hand. PVP is about unpredictability (hard to heal against) and a two hander (especially the heavy Kang) is very very good for that. Dual wielding gives less spiky damage which isn't as good for PVP (though dps is higher). And besides, enemies won't stand still (although sometimes you would wish for that), so every chance you have to hack at them, it better be a chopped-of arm or leg and not a lot undeep cuts.

Besides if you do not take dual wield you can use those talent points elsewhere.

Improved earth bind in elemental tree is personal preference.. it is THE totem you will use a lot, so improving it does not hurt at all. Cheaper shocks are necessary because your mana will not be sky high.
