how is the new Wotlk enhancement tree. trying to figure out how well it does in pvp and bg situations?
Enhancement is doing a lot better than it used to, but so are the other classes. To be honest, I haven't really noticed that big of a change. The classes/specs that had an advantage or disadvantage over Enhancement don't seem to have shifted around all that much.

In comparison to other classes, enhance shaman got some pretty big buffs! Feral Spirit and lavalash ***** casters right up.
I like owning, its new and exciting! I can't imagine it will last long though =/

I obviously can't speak for your own experiences, but from what I've personally seen Enhancement is still getting ripped apart by casters. Frost Mages and Arcane Mages can systematically disassemble an Enhancement Shaman almost flawlessly; as long as the rush with Feral Spirits doesn't kill them, nothing else likely will. Warlocks also have their number down pretty well. A well-played (key term) Balance Druid is a formidable thing now as well.
Spriests get raped pretty hard by Enhancement, but... that's caster, not casters.

I found that frost mages were absolutely impossible. Which is fine. It was like that before and I didn't expect much change there. However, I HATE HATE HATE retro pallies now. I've got abotu 10k health and 330 resilience and I am dead within 4 seconds!
I do like the changes to enhancement though. I like that my spell crit is now 25% and my melee crit is 28%. I like lava lash and mealstom weapon. I definitely put out the DPS. But then so are other toons.

That's my experience. Had a lesson in humility the other day as arcane mages were silencing me and then popping off 3k instants (Arcane Barrage?) Being silenced I couldn't drop a earthbind to pulse me out of the frost nova, or a grounding totem to absorb the first hit (sigh) of arcane missiles. They didnt even bother to sheep me, there was no point as I died before the silence wore off. Presumably they seriously outgeared me but knowing what mages have at their fingertips I can only hope they are distracted for a good 5 seconds before they notice me and my herd of 5-health totems.

Haven't tried as resto yet but I pretty much do nothing but die and hope someone takes the other 50% off them after I die. Rogues stunlock me full to dead before I can even mash a button.

IM still pissed off with Blizzard. Enh shamy's are still getting owned within 5 seconds of melee combat. MSW doesnt proc fast enough(even though it says 100%) for us to pop one off, so it is almost useless unless u last the fight. And we are still getting cc uped the *** cus even though we pop earthbind we still get feared. NOT to mention we still cant even come close to getting top 10 in damage charts. Feral spirit is good 1v1 but in packs doesnt even come close too healing enough for it to be viable. God and those pallies with there 4k crits.

Agreed pallies are a pain atm but the rest of that is all you. It sounds like you need to work on picking your fights a little better. Shammies at 70 can't use the rambo style that is so effective for them in the 30's - 50's. Stay with the pack, and either target lone classes toons you can get the jump on or stay mid pack and wait for rogues and other melee to try and get at your clothies and other healers then serve and protect.
Do NOT under any circumstances become that lone toon that someone can get the jump on or go charging off ahead straight into the middle of the enemy raid.
There is no reason you can't consistently hit top 10 (or even top 5) in damage charts even in AB though I agree you will find it a challenge to hit the top 2 spots with any regularity assuming equally geared allies and enemies.
Not sure why you're expecting healing from Feral Spirit and you need to use Tremor Totem to deal with fear, not Earthbind.
