LOL @ people making entire group compisition changes before the very first balancing patch has been made post-expansion.

Seriously, if you think the "current balance" is going to remain for long you'd have to be mental, there hasn't even been a single patch yet, and I guarantee the next 2-3 will be full of balancing changes.
I only go off of what I actually see. Not what I hope for, or what I THINK Blizzard MIGHT do in the future.

You realize that it's close to 3 months since the talent tree changes came out? Before that they were on the beta server for months. Shamans have been bitching about bad DPS for the past 6+ months and now we're FINALLY getting a 10% dps increase (well, not yet), with a nerf to PVP. I waited 6 months for a 10% increase to dps, after getting a 13% DECREASE when the new talent tree came out. So at best, we're back to where we started. And EVERYONE else got MUCH better. We lost our instant crit CL and gained thunderstorm.

There's nothing that's even been mentioned that will buff shamans in PvP. It's pretty obvious ele shamans have been put on the back burner (look at the caster mail itemization in naxx).
