Was messing around with talents and glyphs for my 4x Shammy team, does this talent tree + glyphs look good?

Totemic wrath only on one toon.
Thought about fire elementalglyph for some serious elemental spam :)

Thoughts?

I have found this spec (http://www.wowhead.com/talent#hGGhhofzdGZZbhcb) to work pretty well for me. (Glyph of stoneclaw / EM)

Ok, but i like insta ghostwolf to much, dont know if i would be able without it. But i gues the healing recived is nice, works good with my racial aswell (dran).

And i agree with EM glyph, ussualy its when EM is active that the damage is incomming on the team.

What shields do you use mostly in pvp nowdays? Water/Lightning ?

I'd really look at a Resto spec, if you want to play defensive.

Four resto, with essentially mana free Lightning Bolts.
Add in shocks, lava burst, 5-min fire elementals, and all the totems.
Not necessarily the blow_people_up powerhouse of Elemental, but not helpless when attacking.

And they have way more survivability.
Plus healing generally impacts BG's the most.
If you plan on going Elemental when you're geared, just use honor to buy the Elemental pieces instead of the Resto; the stats are mostly useful.
Depending on set bonuses, two pieces Elemental and two pieces Resto might be better than four pieces of either.

Yeh but i gues after the resilience change it will be better to go with 4/5 instead of 2+3. Will "soft cap" at 32% if im correct.

If you spec into rolling thunder, then you keep up light shield, if you don't then water shield.
