I am leveling up my shaman right now, and I would like some clarifier's and critiquing on how I am leveling.

Beowolf
-I chose and reserved this name before TBC or the movie came out, and I am norweigan so it suits me.

Enhancement Spec
Explanation:
Imp GW: Make leveling faster
Imp HW: Faster heal
Imp Reincarnation: leveling easier
Totemic Focus: Save mana (Currently run too low on mana to use totems)
Totem Mastery: Don't have to be confined as much when leveling
Enhancing Totems: More powerful when leveling
The rest are from the Enh DPS build.

Currently I don't use totems to often.
Switch between flame tongue and rockbiter, whichever is the newest rank.
Engage targets when I have enough mana to do 1 shock.

Combat....

1. Pull with 2 lightning bolts.
2. Melee attack
3. Fire shock
4. Earth shock (Mob dies around here)
5. Fire shock
6. Throw in a purge or cleanse when needed.

Does this work for combat or am I wasting mana with the lightning pull?

What stats should I be getting... I have been grabbing a mix of strength and agility items, not much int though.

Anything else I should know or things I should learn to do?

The only time I remember using totems while leveling was in tightly packed places where I didn't have to move much and in ******* situations. Especially before I got Totemic Call. I also didn't use shocks much on normal mobs, maybe one flame shock or an earth shock to stop a cast. Basically I never stopped to drink which made up for the slightly slower kill speed.

Along with what Khalane said, you're wasting mana dropping totems every single fight. (I know you did say that you don't drop totems often, so this is good). The only time I'd drop totems is if I'm taking multiple mobs.

Stat wise, I've noticed that a lot of the enh shammy gear that has dropped looks like rogue gear but mail. Agi, Ap, etc.

Should I gear up like a rouge (No int), or like a hunter (Rouge + int)?

What will be better for me, str or agi, str gives damage, but agi will give crit and damage?

And also, use highest damage shock (Flame or frost or earth, whichever does highest damage or fits situation like caster or range), flame earth shock rotation, or no shocks at all?

Just a note: Agility doesnt give you more damage other than a higher crit rating. Only rogues, cat druids and hunters (RAP) actually get Attack Power from agility.
