I think the reason you see far more enhancement than elemental is because of the difference in mobility we had last patch. With the new
Charred Glyph
, the difference in the number of people playing the specs may start to equalize. Other than that, both specs are doing pretty well.
If you want to be a lightning cannon then elemental is your game. If you are like me and prefer to be magic blender then enhancement is great. It is all personal preference.
As for questions about elemental stats, my guide is in my sig and updated for 4.2.

Yes, it's pretty much the mobility issue that Meldoron mentioned. Elemental was severely punished every time you had to move. Elemental was severely punished every time it had to interrupt. For me, it was a truly disheartening spec to try to raid with, and I felt like I was wasting the rest of the raids time, and that they were carrying my useless elemental shaman arse. Frankly, it sucked to be elemental. So I dropped the elemental spec I'd always had, and chose enhancement. The glyph came too late for me.
But that's all history now. 4.2 should fix elemental.

i find enh to be slightly lower than ele dps. Enhance however is insanely more fun that ele imo!

I have had both and ele and enh spec and I really enjoyed leveling ele, but at what gear level does it start to feel as though we can really let out high dps as ele.... I am starting heroics, and I feel like my dps is bad, and my lb casts are sooooo slow. I have switched back to enh just to gear up in heroics, since I can put out much better dps in similar gear.

I have yet to come across an ele shaman that could out dps my enhance shaman, unless they outgear by a good bit but that has only happen once and was by a training dummy >.>
