On the PvP side, Elemental is hands down the best spec. Your healing is still comparable to Resto while having the added benefit of being able become extremely offensive during burst windows. Enhancement, on the other hand, is an awful spec for group PvP. They're incapable of effective back up healing, their mana longevity is non-existent (not that Ele or Resto even are much better in high pressure situations), and once they've run oom they're just kited like the worthless canon fodder that they are.
