One thing about boot enchants:
While Dexterity (12 agi) can be the best enchant in simple stand-and-nuke style of fight, the run speed increase from cat's swiftness or boar's speed becomes better in fights involving movement. If you get one more attack per couple of minutes, you'll propably outdps the dexterity. Not to mention the run speed can save your life on Mother, help avoid taking even the single hit from void zones, flamestrikes etc.
There was a post about this somewhere, i'll try to dig it out.
Edit: Found it from the enhancement shaman thread:
3.6.2 Agility vs Run Speed for Boots
For PvE, either [Formula: Enchant Boots - Boar's Speed] or [Formula: Enchant Boots - Cat's Swiftness] are going to be big payoffs. Increased run speed is hands down the best enchant you can get for PvE. Derivation:
Let D be your dps without a boot enchant. For the run speed to provide more benefit, we need:
(D+12A)(T-t) < (D+6A)(T-t/1.08)
which simplifies to
T < [(1-k)D + (2-k)6A]t/(6A)
where k = 1/1.08. For example, gives A = .16286, and so we have
T < (.07581D + 1.074) t
Using some actual data, a shaman that does betwen 900 and 1000 dps will have T < 76.88t
For 5 minutes, we would need t > 3.90 seconds and for 6 minutes we would need t > 4.68 seconds.

So for a 5 minute fight if you spend roughly 4 seconds moving between adds, running to the boss, etc, Run Speed provides a superior DPS benefit.
