I've heard that ShockAndAwe is one of if not the best for Shaman Enh. DPS. Though I wouldn't know since I haven't seriously played Enh since BC.

As for Shaman specific? Totemus. A really handy little Ankh/potion/totem holder that you could easily move around on yuor screen, but it stopped being updated. Now with the built-in Blizz totem setup, there's not much need for totem addons any more.

I think there used to be one for the 3 second Windfury cooldown, but looking on Curse they're all outdated by at least a few months or more, I'm not sure how vital these were anyway.

Otherwise some general ones would be (For Resto anyway, that's all I ever play) Grid, (Clique if you want to click and heal - or use Healbot, but I prefer Grid+Clique) Gladius for arena. There's more, but I don't want to go and think about them.

Macros, there's one essential one for Resto - the instant Nature's Swiftness/HW combo, or NS/CH for the raid healer.

/cast Nature's Swiftness
/stopcasting
/Cast Chain Heal (or Healing Wave. Without a rank number, the macro automatically uses your highest rank.)

You can also do the same with Tidal Force, because I don't think it's on the Greater CoolDown. (GCD)

/cast Tidal Force
/stopcasting
/cast (Whatever you want.)

The stopcasting's serve a purpose, but I forget it. I know there is a reason though, and it was a good one from Elitist Jerks or something.

For Elemental, I use Event Horizon to monitor spell cd's and debuff durations. I use it for different dps toons and while I am sure there are some that do it better, I have become accustomed to its setup and there is very little "re-learning" between characters. It is a graphical representation and I only have to glance at the bars to keep aware of the different timers.

PowerAuras Classic is another one I like a lot since getting the t10 2pc bonus. With the cool-down on Elemental Mastery being constantly updated, I find it useful to have a numerical timer attached to it. PowerAuras also allows me to be alerted when the different procs happen so I can pop trinkets/cooldowns in conjunction with them.

For Resto, Grid w/extra extra icon plugins is great. I have mine setup to show Earth Shield as an icon on the side with stack info. Also shows Riptide durations so I can go back and target those with CH for the +25% heal. (I have a short-term memory issues >.< )

Macros:
Elemental:

/use Elemental Mastery
/use 14
/use Flame Shock

cuz I like being lazy; "14" is where I put my "on-use" trinket. I used to macro it with Lava Burst, but found that I didn't like that when the second usage came up.

...if this has ever happened to you, you will know that this macro is invaluable.

/use [combat]Heroism
