Not to mention with Rockbiter on your weapons it would probably take longer to get those maelstrom procs.
You are not the first person to notice shamans have some tank-like abilities and this isn't the first time people explained why it's plausible but not very practical.

When first first first came out Blizzard had dreams of Shamen being tanks. You couldn't be a paladin in the horde, and you couldn't be a shaman in the alliance, so those two classes were supposed to be the counter to each other. A healing spec, a tank spec, and a dps spec.
But they never got Shaman tanking right. And by the time BC came out, they officially gave up on Shaman being tanks and just let shaman and pallys cross faction lines. via Belfs and Space Goats. Now, we've got a few tank-like abilities (elegant weapons from a more civilized age) and no real call to ever employ them except as ZOMG emergency off-tank abilities in small groups.
