Glyphs:
Feral Spirit
Stormstrike
Windfury or Fire Elemental Totem
Fire Elemental wins in fights that will last longer then 5 minutes, Windfury wins on short fights.
My priority system is (go from top to bottom and cast the first one that is off cooldown):
- raid buff totems (Strengh of Earth, Windfury)
- Fire Elemental
- Spirit Wolves
- LB if MWx5, CH if MWx5 if AoE fight
- Magma Totem and Fire Nova if AoE fight
- SS if the debuff is not on the target
- ES
- SS
- Shamanistic Rage (if not needed as defensive CD during the encounter)
- Magma Totem
- LL
- Fire Nova
LL will do slightly more damage then FN I think. ES ranks higher then SS but only if the SS debuff is already on the target. MW stacks should be used asap.

Does FN benefit from the SS debuff?
Does anybody have any idea what talent/talents to pull a point from for personal tweaking? So many seem ok but the math that goes into determining the one with the lowest impact is well beyond me.
Lastly, Hex. Do all Shamans usually use it for crowd control when needed? I've only seen someone use it once.
- No
- Improved Shields is the lowest DPS, or you can scrap mana regen talents.
- The only time i've used Hex in PvE is the Faction Champions fight, and to CC people who got mind controled.

Most of what has been said aligns with what I am finding to be true for me. However, the present build that ditches mana regen (namely improved Stormstrike and Elemental Focus) is really only applicable for a pure 10/25 "raiding only" build. If you are still running heroics in addition to raiding, you will find yourself running out of mana frequently (unless you are lucky enough to have the right 5-man mix to supplement your mana regen), ESPECIALLY if you are dropping/refreshing magma AND incorporating Fire Nova into your rotation. The more "fast and furious" nature of Heroics means you will have almost no time to refresh your mana without holding everyone up. I found this to be true even when dropping mana spring and keeping Shamanistic Rage up for every fight.
Putting 2/2 in improved stormstrike or 1/2 in imp SS and 1/2 in Ele Focus offer sufficient Mana regen without stealing too many points from DPS talents.
This is essentially the build linked above (by Drasarr).
If you are only raiding, then you have some options for those two points.
Finally, while Flame Shock is not recommended within your melee rotation, I find it useful when running into melee range after the tank has gathered initial aggro on the mob. It is free damage, can be cast while running (I also use it to supplement other spells on fights where i am frequently running from stuff like novas or traps, or where the boss goes out of melee range but remains in spellcasting range). I am also using

on one of my weapons (which is kind of a renegade, experimental status atm for enh) and the Flame Shock gives me an extra chance to proc the buff as I run into a fight.

Here is my
build
My priority is
-Totems
-Shamanistic rage (due to my max dps min mana build)
-CL if 5 stack of MW ( i know LB has a higher coefficient but ive always gotten better dps out of CL
-Spirit Wolves
-SS if not on the target
-FS if dot not already running or about to expire
-ES
-FN (fire nova for ppl not familiar with this yet)
-LL
Also I would not suggest wasting a glyph on the fire elemental. If it reduces the CD to 5 mins and assuming your elemental is out for the full 3 minutes than a fight would have to last at least 8 minutes to get full use out of this glyph and that usually is not the case. I would go with the flame shock glyph ESPECIALLY if you have 4p t9. I do about 5-6k in h around 6 -7k in 10 mans if anyone is wondering.

I just swapped to
this
totem so that I can now also have LL at the very bottom of my priority list without worrying about the buff dropping off. LB is cast often enough and haste is great ;)
