ELEMENTAL SHAMAN
Elemental shamans are ranged DPS based on spells to damage their enemies. They wear Mail items which give Stamina and Intellect as main stats. Elemental shamans dont share the same armor with any other classes but they do share the Miscellaneus items with other caster DPS classes.
The best weapons for elemental shamas are 2hand Staffs, or a 1hand Dagger/sword combined with a good Shield or Held in Off-hand item.
For secondary stats elemental shamans need; Spell power, Hit Rating, Haste rating and maybe some Critical strike rating.
After getting Hit-Capped and having enough spellpower, Elemetal Shamans should mainly focus on Haste Rating to get more DPS (haste rating is VERY IMPORTANT for an elemental shaman), and if its not possible, then Critical Strike Rating should have the secondary focus.
ELEMENTAL SHAMAN CAPS
Hit Rating Required for level 80 bosses: %17 (With Elemental Precision Talent) (With the raid buffs and Moonkin players around you, You will basicly need %14)
Haste Rating Required for level 80 Bosses: %25. (around 800 at level 80) [without Wrath of Air Totem] Without this haste rating your DPS will definitely be lower.
These are the two Caps you MUST reach to be able to deal the most DPS. After getting these capped, and having a decent amount of Spellpower, you can then start stacking Critical Strike Rating.
ELEMENTAL SHAMAN GLYPHS
For the best DPS and benefit of the Elemental shaman you will need 3 Major glyphs.
[Glyph Of Totem Of Wrath]
[Glyph of Flame Shock]
[Glyph of Lava]
You MUST have these three Glyphs to deal the most Damage. Even if you dont pick one of these, you will see that your DPS is lowering down and down.
As for the minor glyphs you can basicly pick whatever you want except that if you have :
[Glyph of Water Shield] you will feel more confortable about your mana in raids.
For the other two you would probably like having:
[Glyph of Astral Recall]
[Glyph of Renewed Life]
These two will save you some time while doing regular stuff or dying in raids 
ELEMENTAL SHAMAN GEMS
For the meta gem slot, you will definitely like the Chaotic Skyflare Diamond. You can get 2 blue gems (or Green/purple)
For the rest of your gem slots DO NOT BOTHER USING BRILLIANT KING’S AMBER. Shamans dont really benefit from Intellect gems.
The gems you would want to socket your Elemental shamans items are :
[Runed Cardinal Ruby]
[Quick King's Amber]
This may seem like an uncomplete information but no. The most important gem for elemental shamans is the +20 Haste rating gem: Quick King’s Amber, and for red sockets you will enjoy having more spellpower with Runed Cardinal Ruby. Elemental shamans deal huge amounts of DPS by just using these 2 gems as prior and 2 Other blue, purple or green gems for the Meta gem to work. These all will be enough for you to start rocking the DPS meters.
