I agree with the majority of this, except for the part about using stoneskin totem. Stoneskin is very lackluster mitigation. You'll hardly even notice it at all, because it works before armor rather than after. But yes, basically between searing totem, lightning shield, and frost/flame shock, you can generally take down a rogue before he can take you down. Poison cleansing totem is of course a must. Keep tossing it and frost shock when it gets crippling, forcing the rogue to chase. It's generally pretty rare that I will have to stop to heal in this matchup.

The only fight 1v1 that I lose more than I win as an elemental shaman is against a warlock. Between tongues and fear, it's virtually impossible to kill any competent warlock.
