LaB-4LB: 2277.69
LaB-CL-3LB: 2269.49
LaB-CL-4LB: 2336.24
FS-CL-3LB-LaB: 2308.8
LB spam: 2085.5

Obviously, rotation 3 has best dps and also best scaling, as it has 1.5 seconds spare for haste improvement. I only included Flame Shock in rotation above because I'm not certain if we will be able to burn an enhancement shaman's flame shock. If we can, though, you can see our dps rise, given correct rotation use.

Also are these the level 80 spells? I'm confused, because I see mages those numbers already, and what about warlocks? I doubt they'll decrease in dps by gaining 10 levels. Also no haste? Thank you for your time.
Yes, those are level 80 spells, but at raw values, no raid buffs other than those that directly affect either one or the other (i.e. no misery, Judgement of Crusader, Heroism, etc., I did include CoE, but not Stormstrike), hence what seem like low numbers.

Locks will need a calculation from scratch, as it seems Blizzard is pushing for greater balance between fire and shadow spells, so shadow really doesn't gain much, but fire is boosted by quite a margin. And yes, this is at 0 haste.

NOTE: these are raw dps values. They could be greatly influenced given trinkets based on proc per crit or similar (think Lightning Capacitor).

EDIT: added LB spam value for comparison
