There are three threads that cover a lot of stuff that that I often refer to:
[Enhancement] BiS gear and set-up discussion (3.3 and onward)
*Enhancement Shaman FAQ (3.3)*
Shaman: Enhancement
Also you should read this article which explains how to utilize shockandawe mod to import your stats with NO BUFFS on to another tool called Enhsim which calculate your EP values (EP being what you should be stacking) among other things and then putting them into PAWN mod so you can have a EP value to every item that will be most valuable to you.
Integrating EnhSim, Shock and Awe, and�Pawn - Big Hit Box - Big Hit Box
Because your EP value fluctuates with every upgrade you should do this procedure with every item upgrade just to be on top of your game.
Also to add on to what stat I/You should be stacking there is 2 school of thought for which stat to stack/gem after capping Special's Hit, Spell Hit & Expertise(for both hands preferebly). One is Haste and the other is Attack Power(AP). EP value wise Haste has a higher value, But I have learned recently that with haste your FPS matters IMO cause I recently had my 280GTX OC fry on me and am using atm a 40 buck video card. I am waiting on my RMA for my video card but I have seen my dps fall off significantly (1k being modest). My GTX 280 OC ran @60 fps on 1920x1200 while this 40 dollar card is running @14 fps on 1920x1200(too lazy to redo my UI temporarily). Also to note your dps with haste will shine on fights like festergut and saurfang. I have not tested/regemmed for AP for adds heavy fights like deathwhisper or dreamwalker, But I am considering it atm with the video card fps issue i am having of late.
OPINION
I was very hesitant to answer questions on this forum cause I am not among the caliber of a lot the enhance shamans who post on these threads but this was a simple enough question for me to point you to the right direction. Good Luck. Just so you know this is not a easy mode class and spec and if you really want to do well with this spec you should look into getting a G11 keyboard the one with 18 more button on the keyboard G1-G18. Yes there are that many spells and the spell priority is that tight. That reason alone and our dps not being like rogues or hunters makes it hard to play and IMO look good compared to other classes dps output.
