Level 49 Enhance Sham BG Builds and stategiesFollow

I thought this might be interesting to link builds as I've noticed that it seems like this is our best and only PVP option where we sniff what it used to be as a Shaman. What is your build and/or strategies for success? Ultimately I think this would be a nice sticky for people that want to run this specific pwn spec in the pre-WoTLK BG's.

Here is my build:

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Arthas&n=Dreadshaman

If this gets enough interest I'll update as necessary.

At this point I have a ton of level 30+ greens but still like what happens in AB and WSG with what I have. Thinking about buying the Hammer of the Northern Wind for both hands:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=810

AB: Take out the healers with ES, purge, SS, EN and then ES again and SS if the target isn't dead. Same with hunters though I usually need to toss in a FS for an ES when they run. With Rogues get the Insignia of the Horde and EB, FS back up with SS's and repeat.

WSG: I find that I'm in the top 3-4 in DPS but die at about the same rate as I have killing blows as I run into a group of 2-3 ally and start destroying. On the plus side I'm usually key in dropping earthbinds, FS and heals for flag carriers if I'm not the FC myself. I'm usually able to kill just about everybody but the FS, purge, SS, EN rotation works pretty well against Wars, Pallies and rogues.

I haven't seen any head item better than the SM level 37 helm for an enhancement shaman.

Please link your build and how you got it.

Who would comment? Nobody cares about twinking out at any of the '9's anymore. I've already said it several times the past few weeks alone. The only kind of PvP anyone cares about anymore is the arenas at 70.

Hmmm... Well Gaudion, I hold in pretty high regard for these forums so I don't want to be too contradictory but I do have a couple of things to point out:

I primarily BG for gear as I can't often do anything that takes longer than an hour or that I can't leave in a seconds notice while I respond to various work, home and life issues;

I have a level 70 troll elem sham that is in S2 gear and I'm waiting to run to 80;

I see the BG's still stacked with well geared 49ers that enjoy the competetition of these BG's;

If you love Shaman in general, and Enhance DW/ST shams in particular it supposedly gets no better than the level 49 BG's;

Alot of people have higher toons that they spend more time with and rolling with the BG at certain time can be one of the most enjoyable experiences ever;

I have a 70 rogue, a 70 sham, a couple of late 40 War's and Locks and even a level 29 mage that I run in those BG's as well. I enjoy it all so I don't really agree that nobody plays the 9's or that it will ever totally be replaced by people just doing high end raids and BG's... We just like it and can't spend, or won't spend, so many hours in perfecting a single toon.

But, since nobody ever responded to the post and you did maybe you are right! Thanks at least for taking the time.
