Depending on how much pvp you've done, the honor gear is a viable option for you. Also there is a good guide at the begining of this forum to help with chants that you'll want.

Funny story about S2 gear being crap dps. I am an ele shaman in Full S2 and I am in the top 5 dps durring hyjal and BT. On average pulling 1200-1350 dps. Against quite a few guys that are t5/t6. The truth of the matter is, shaman gear in general is hard to come by. Hardly anything for ele shaman's pre BT/hyjal. And besides weapons, there isnt much for enhance shaman's either. For the amount of str you get from the pvp gear, and gemming them right, this IS your best bet for gear until you are in the more "high end" raids.
S2 armor is at best around early/mid-T5. Maybe you can peak at 1200+ dps on single fights, but I highly doubt you can sustain that through the entire run.
This stuff about PvP gear being generally suitable for PvE has got to stop. With BC Blizzard introduced an ENTIRELY different itemization system for PvP gear. It changed the entire way PvP gear worked from Pre-BC times. By adding the stat of resilience and prioritizing survivability over kill-power, Blizz placed the emphasis on individual durability, which has absolutely nothing to do with improving group dynamics or personal DPS. It TRULY defined PvP gear AS gear for player versus player use. Nothing else.
This is somewhat true, but the fact remains that raid instances remain static while the quality of pvp gear that you can get from afking BGs goes up with each passing season. T4 gear is practically obsolete now because S2 gear has such a high ilvl that it is often better, even with the itemization points allocated to extra stam and resil. The only real stat you are missing is hit, and both ele and enh shamans are fortunate enough to need very little of it.
To the OP: if you are going to Kara with an experienced group, whatever blues and heroic epics you may have will probably be fine. If you are planning on farming honor in BGs, you should probably go after a pair of S2 axes first, since they are much better than any weapon that drops in Kara.
