That would be fun Tetran, especially if you could get TBC. I am the world's biggest spender of gold on re-training my talent costs. I HATE having to do it but I'm always wanting to try different builds out.
As far as the Shaman goes. I have a 39 Twink Enhancement Shammy and have spent many long and boring work days on the main Shaman boards.
It seems that both Elemental and Enhancement are viable leveling trees. There's always a good debate going on about this which leads me to believe both work. Personally, I choose Enhancement and it went well, but I had good weapons most of the time. Elemental will certainly help you with your healing if you need to do that some too.
Resto, as with most healing trees, isn't going to help you kill much. And unless you are grouping the whole time you level, probably isn't the best choice. But I don't recall ever doing much healing at all w/ my Shaman, except of course myself.
The Shaman seems to have some serious end game issues though some recent blue posts indicate they will be buffed soon. Frankly, I think they are as fun a class as there is in the game. They are the best example of a casting warrior (better than pallys at this IMO). They can be devastating in group PVP and are scary solo. Damn fun class!
