I would stay alliance. In TBC, elemental is relatively unchanged levels <40 and low level dungeons should be pretty close to what they are now.

I've tried leveling feral 4x shaman in dungeons. Its not bad but it is a slog. I would argue that you could level a mage to 60 and boost 4x shamans to 60 faster than you could level purely through dungeons with ele shamans. No idea after 60.
