1 hand, shield and flametongue for sure.

In pvp you need the slow 2h weapon with windfury for the burst potential which can be significantly harder to heal through however in pve you rely more on reliable constant damage plus vanilla mobs can be brutal at times so the shield really helps especially in dungeon scenarios. If you accidently pulled aggro from the tank in a dungeon with a 2 hand weapon you'll melt in seconds

Any thoughts on viable enhancement leveling specs that will also allow you to heal dungeons? I had planned to level elemental so that the gear would at least be the same, but elemental leveling now seems like a bad idea.

i think shaman can heal throught dungeon without to go in restoration spec honestly, i did RFC at lvl 14 and i was just fine, i would say myself that you dont need to be really in resto spec, well not before lvl 50+, otherwise just with the gear you have on you gonna be fine

It's completely fine leveling as either I think. Windfury is a lot of fun when you get lots of procs and flametongue is probably more reliable. In the end it's going to take a while to reach 60 so you might as well pick the one you enjoy the most, I think the difference in speed is small.

Also you can also heal fine even in enhancement spec until at least level 40 unless your gear is terrible.

I have leveled until 60 with two handed WF but I can say that it was pain in the ... . Like some creeps were insta killed when WF hitted and crit, but some creeps were slow as .... . What I can say for sure, its that WF is still faster than flametongue. One friend went a fun way with one handed and WF and that was like really good too.

You could heal things like LBRS/Strat/Scholo just fine as Enh if you had a full healing set.
