Elemental shaman PvE guide (3.2 updated)

Thanks for the guide.

I would recommend the following gear tools:

For general rankings of gear: http://www.maxdps.com/shaman/elemental.php
and
Get the addon called Pawn and set up a profile on your tank for elemental shamans (and on one of the shamans) so you can quickly get a gear rating for comparison. Sample pawn settings for Ele (one if your hit capped and one if you’re not):

( Pawn: v1: "Elemental": Intellect=0.249, RedSocket=32.384, CritRating=0.745, ColorlessSocket=32.384, MetaSocket=75, HasteRating=1.415, BlueSocket=16.896, YellowSocket=31.046, SpellPower=1.408 )

( Pawn: v1: "ElementalHit": Intellect=0.249, RedSocket=32.384, CritRating=0.745, ColorlessSocket=32.384, MetaSocket=75, HasteRating=1.415, BlueSocket=16.896, YellowSocket=31.046, SpellPower=1.408, HitRating=2.445 )

Pawn is a great addon for leveling toons to make very fast gear choices. "Do I want that new gear or should I go for max sell value?"
