I have tried my luck at all old raid and bc dungeons with some degree of success. Personally I'm resto/enhance and both have proven useful. I think that enhancement has a an edge over elemental and most other classes because of maelstrom and spirit wolves which can keep you healed in most situations. Also shamanistic rage is invaluable for harder fights. Before Ony came back at level 80 I used to solo her with relative ease. Also I do ZG every once in awhile solo for raptor and tiger mount. ZG can be rough and some times I'll use my resto spec to get through the whirlwind guys. as far as 40 mans go with MC BWL and AQ I've never tried. BC dungeons are easy enough although heroics are pretty tough. I usually do ZA with a dk friend of mine to try to get the pet. I have heard of people soloing UK and low level wrath dungeons but I don't think a shaman could solo a WotLK heroic. I know as enhancement I soloed any group quest while leveling and even the Threat From Above quest for the argent dailies is easily soloable with out breaking a sweat. That's my experience hope it helps.

I've tried AQ40 as elemental to farm for my Silithid mount, be prepared to spam some LHW

I've started soloing old instances recently. Before 3.3, I went Elemental from Enhancement because of all the ArPen I noticed on new mail gear...
I think I made a mistake.
Enhancement is much easier to solo with since you have
Spirit Wolves
(nice form of healing),
Shamanistic Rage
(for defense),
Maelstrom Weapon
(instant self-healing) and no cast times whatsoever. In my recent experiences in Blackrock Spire, I found it mostly easy as Elemental except for the
Veterans
' knockbacks and
Assassins
' stuns. Manageable but annoying. And then came
The Beast
. This guy continuously flung me around the room. I never got a cast off...ever. Also with the daily Threat From Above, I was able to easily solo Chillmaw as Enhancement but not Elemental.
If I hadn't invested so much of my time (and Frost Emblems) into my Elemental spec, I would definitely go back to Enhancement now that I got a taste of the "soloing classic content" bug.
Edit: tasting bugs? eww.
