Resto Cookie Cutter Build

Hello everyone, I plan to be leveling my Shaman alt pretty soon and was going to go Enhancement/Resto. I've seen many Enhancement builds have toyed with one a bit and now I have it just the way I want it. I've never tried the Healing deal so I figured I'd give it ago. Only problem is I can't figure out the Resto tree for the life of me..So if anyone could point me in the direction of a Resto cookie cutter build it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers,
~Testrum
P.S. Another quick question, with my Enhancement build I have 5 points in Ancestral Knowledge and 0 points in Improved Shields. Is taking Improved Shields worth it?

I don't know if you should ever take Elemental weapons over Improved Shields. Shamans who take elemental weapons usually do so instead of healing focus or ancestral healing, and have 16 in Enhancement.
45 spellpower is what you get for 3 talent points in Elemental Weapons.
15% bigger earth shield procs (which, on my healer, accounts for about 600 more healing every 3 seconds, not counting crits) and 15% more mp5 from your water shield/imp water shield procs will always beat EW.

Improved Shields increases the amount of mana you get from your water shield bubbles bursting. It does not improve the passive mp5 of the shield, and it does not improve the mana return of Improved Water Shield.

Are you sure about that? I'm no expert on resto, but I'd be extremely surprised if IS wasn't giving the 15% boost to IWS procs. The phrasing of the two talents definitely implies they go hand in hand: IS increases the mana gain from consuming a WS orb by 15%, and IWS gives you back mana as if you consumed an orb.
If IS doesn't increase IWS procs, then what's the point?

I plan on using IS for both my Enhancement and Resto build after I dual spec. But I was just wondering why people take it over the 10% Intellect bonus, especially for Enhancement since they have Mental Dexterity which gives you AP for Intellect.

Improved Shields
:
Increases the damage done by your Lightning Shield orbs by 15%, increases the amount of mana gained from your Water Shield orbs by 15%
and increases the amount of healing done by your Earth Shield orbs by 15%.
THAT is the point.
Earth shield is (to me at least) the most important resto skill. It allows my tank to get a hit, get healed, get aggro, before I come in healing.

Because
this
vs 6% int
enchancment not got mana problem with
this
and
this
(the improved
Stormstrike
do not look like big but when Stormstrike cost only 8% and you get back 20% of base mana its just free mana on use)
Mental dexterity is flavor because we share hunter gear that got Int on it, and 6% more int(since enchaning totem is great choice) will not give game breaking much Ap or you really wearing wrong gear , its more a filler talent for Resto/Elemental who dip into enhan tree
Edit: just say that when you take 3 point's in ench totem you take the 2 last in drop in AK because they need it to get to next tiar
