Another satisfied enh post cataclysm here.
With primarily 346 gear (and a few straggling 333's) I'm consistently top total damage in heroics by a large margin (32%-35% tot) and 9k DPS overall with 12k-13k boss DPS.
Lots of CC and spot heals - keep healing rain handy to help with the prodigious damage that the melee takes.
The Cataclysm Shaman is like a rogue that can cast and heal. I like it. ALOT.
For heroics, I'm finding that I use some of my MW5 procs to heal - chain heal or healing rain, with a preference for the HoT as it heals more people for more total benefit than CH.
Rotation seems to be settling in as follows:
While running in, after tank picks up mob, Flame Shock, SW, Drop totems (typically SoE, Searing or magma, Healing (glyphed) and WF), Unleash Elements, SS, LL, ES
I keep FS up at all times (perhaps a habit from T10).
The Unleash Elements is a real boon and I keep it active whenever its cooldown is up.
Also, Spirit Walker's Grace has come in VERY handy for the frequent running involved in the Cata heroics, as has the insta-cast wolf to get the hell away from stuff without wasting talent points as before.
Yeah, I'm really liking it!
As mentioned here and elsewhere, the hit and exp caps are paramount. I'm still not capped, but am close, and incremental gains in these stats has returned enormous DPS benefit. I was averaging 6k DPS in 325/333 gear with 10-11% spell hit, and am at almost 10k average at 14-15% hit.

Yep, UE is my first hit in melee range. The FS, SW and totems are all done as I run in, and the second I get in position UE is my first ability, followed by the usual SS, LL, ES rotation. With our new cooldown windows, I have plenty of opportunities to keep UE and FS active in the rotation.
I find with UE I get both weapon imbue buffs - Unleash Wind and Unleash Flame.

It does seem most enhance are happy with their spec at the moment. I'm currently pushing 11k self buffed at the dummy, have seen up to 12/13k 10m buffed on none-gimmick fights so lifes generally pretty good :)
Will be adding the darkmoon hurricane card next time the faire comes around and the tol barad trinket shortly after that so i'd expect quite a jump in performance from those.

Yeah, I was originally going to gear to be a raid healer and since I leveled as enh to 85, I thought I'd use it in heroics since it was a higher a much higher gearscore. I don't think I'm going to be a raid healer anymore, I love enh way too much and don't want to heal. =)
