Our main strategy is for me to go ghost wolf, to trick the other team into thinking I'm resto, then waiting for their dps to charge me. At that point the pally and mage will go and pick a target to dps down, usually the healer. They charge that target, after the other teams dps has left them. At that point I pop shamanistic rage, earthbind totem, go ghost wolf, (use a trinket if neccesary) and charge my teams target. I'll then pop bloodlust, and we kill our target. Then we can usually finish it 3v2. Our mage can sheep one if neccesary, and our pally can bubble me if I don't make it too well. I'm sure we could also try it where the pally uses blessing of freedom on me, and/or the mage can pet-freeze them.

With freeze, pally stuns, and earthshock/purge/bloodlust, our main target shouldn't live very long. With pally stuns/bubbles/BoF, sheep/freeze, and 2 off-healers, none of us have should drop fast, if at all.

I admit, this setup is an odd one, but I'm hoping its utilities with make it a good one. I admit I haven't tried to the fullest the strategy, but it all looks good on paper, right?

Imput, mostly strategy, how we'll fair against higher rated teams and other setups, is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
It's highly unlikely that any high-end team will, when choosing targets, look at you and think you're a healer. All it takes is the lack of presence of earth shield on someone, plus your likely 5000-6000 mana pool to know you're enhancement; however, it is still likely, based on your comp, that you will be the focus target anyway. As soon as I see an enhancement shaman in a 3-dps team, I call for a double melee (my comp is disc/ms war/enha) heroism zerg with purge-spam to eliminate the inevitable BoP. It could be an interesting comp for you, but I think you'll run into trouble with double melee/healer comps.
