To the guy that posted the wall of text with an amory link at the top, here's your problem:
You don't spec for PvP. You're 41/0/20, and while that's good for PvE, you really can't be serious about doing PvP with that spec. NS is essential to ele PvP.
Holy $hit, write it down! Theo made a valid point on a shaman forum! I agree, NS is needed for PvP if you plan to play elemental, no question. Also, you should be putting 3 points into elemental shields, it helps a bit to survive. Totemic Mastery should be taken in resto to increase your tremor/grounding range. I'm going to assume he is currently rolling a raid spec and he respecs for pvp.

I don't know what your resilience looks like, but judging from your gear quality, it can't be more than ~300. You're also doing 2v2s with a feral druid of all things, a DPS class that has more issues than DPS shamans do (there are something like ~50 2k+ feral druids in the US, if not the world), and a class that shamans don't synergize well with.
Uh...you do know you can select defenses on armory to check resilience? In his current gear he is sporting 23 resil, but if he says he has 450+, I'm assuming he has a PvP set.

A lot of arena is your comp and skill. In fact, I'd say 80% of arena is comp/skill related. The other 20% is gear. Running a bad comp and then saying shamans aren't good in PvP is stupid.
So...not only are all shaman morons, but they must be running bad comps too? This is your explanation for shaman ******** about PvP deficiencies, you're really reaching man...
