Having a 'lock as my main, I wanted to go melee. So I levelled a Warrior. 59 right now.
Now I need something different. A shaman. Enhancement no less. Why? Becuase I still want the melee, but like to have the magic as back up. And THAT is why I agree that enhance is better then ele for levelling. Choice. I don't see melee as an option at all if you go ele.
And that's regardless of the maths, bad or otherwise. :o)
