I recommend Warrior simply because a Warrior excels at more roles than Shaman do. You can be a tank and ALWAYS find a group because faith in Warrior tanks is high.
Or, you can spec Fury and do solid raid DPS.
Or, you can spec for PvP and usually find an Arena team, because every Arena team wants Intercept, Intervene, Pummel and Hamstring, and MS if you decide to spec Arms.
The choice as I see it is this; during your toon's life, after lvl40 (at which Shamans admittedly shine brightly), a Warrior would have a lot more luck in PvP than a Shaman, and if you're on a PvP realm that will really matter. Being corpsecamped by a Rogue 2 lvls lower than you (happened to me...) and being essentially unable to harm him or heal myself (as Enhance) gets old
