I'm glad someone found it useful.
Would it be worthy of a sticky/pin?

Also add in Glyph of the Gladiato, and fix your greater incscription of discipline.
Oops! I don't know how that got in there.
Thanks for the fix.

+10 Strength gems are also an option if you have the resources.
Some my not understand by Strength > AP.
The reason for this is that in end-game raids especially, you should receive Blessing of Kings somewhere and Strength scales with BoK while raw AP doesn't.
And yes, please do not gem for +Hit rating.
Oh and I'm working on a gemming guide as well... It's actually taking a bit of time because of having to add all the links to the gems etc. So keep an eye out for it.

Nice, looking forward to that :)
Just enhancement, or all specs? I guess feedback will come in handy at that point.

A little formatting and you've got yourself a sticky. :)
I would recommend using URL and UL tags to change this:
Head
:
- Glyph of Ferocity
- Glyph of the Outcast
- Glyph of the Gladiator
into:
Head
:
Glyph of Ferocity
Glyph of the Outcast
Glyph of the Gladiator
The actual code looks like this:
(b)Head(/b):
(ul)
(li)(url=
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29192
) Glyph of Ferocity(/url)(/li)
(li)(url=
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30846
) Glyph of the Outcast(/url)(/li)
(li)(url=
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29193
) Glyph of the Gladiator(/url)(/li)
(/ul)
With the parenthesis replaced by brackets, of course. :)
I'll sticky this, just give it a cleanup and you'll be golden. Thanks for putting this together.

Thanks for the coding bit, I didn't know how to do it ;)
Well, I've fixed it up now.
Thanks for the sticky!

I plan to put Battlemaster on the offhand and Mongoose on the main hand. Or should I go dual mongoose?
This enchanting thing is hard :(
I highly recommend double Mongoose.
The reason I don't like the Battlemaster enchant is that Shamans can have a difficult time maintaining their aggro in raids/parties and the heal-proc from Battlemaster actually generates aggro, so if you get multiple Windfury crits and the Battlemaster enchant procs, the chances of you taking aggro is very high. It might have been better if we had an aggro-dump spell but unfortunately the only one we have is.... Reincarnate. Yeah.

Just a note:
On any fight that requires a lot of movement,
Cat's Swiftness
will be superior to
Dexterity
, because your dps uptime on the target will be higher.
Examples of such fights are Jan'alai, Hex Lord, Zul'jin, Mother Shaz, Council, Illidan.
