17% for casters, don't forget your talents. Talented you can reach 9% hit which makes capping amazingly easy if you go that route, 3% is your average elemental build. I personally tested the elemental/enhancement hybrid build and geared for elemental and am able to push absurd amounts of DPS out, especially on 25's where mana runs freely.
9% with talents? Show me please.
edit: Oh nm I see you are using hybrid build.

edit2: And beside going for hit first I noticed no one has mentioned haste. Haste is pretty important now for elemental shaman even after the new update in 3.0.8. I believe the values for each stat were something like:
2.2 hit until cap (only need 6% if you dont raid)
1.7ish for haste
1.6ish for spell power
1.1ish for crit

These are from memory and it has been a while since I looked at the page, but check the elemental shaman thread on Elitist Jerks if you want the exact values.
