Level 49 Enhancement Shaman twink build

Solid. A few specific changes below would lift it further.

Why it works
This is a 9/31/0 PvP build: Enhancement goes all the way to Stormstrike, with Thundering Strikes, Flurry, Elemental Weapons, Weapon Mastery and Parry for melee burst and survivability. Improved Ghost Wolf is mandatory in the 49 bracket because instant outdoor mobility decides many fights. The 9 Elemental points go into Concussion and Convection so your shocks hit harder and cost less mana.
The gear is a balanced twink set, not glass-cannon. Pirate's Eye Patch, Nightfall Drape, Bladebane Armguards, Bloodshot-style stamina pieces where appropriate, and Defiler's Chain Greaves keep you alive while preserving burst. The selected set carries about 153 stamina from gear, close to the standard PvP toughness point on the provided curve; pushing much higher starts costing a lot more damage, especially past the 70 setting where throughput drops to −12%. Blackstone Ring plus Rune of the Guard Captain add useful hit, while Defiler's Talisman gives an on-demand physical absorb. Spire of Hakkar is the weapon pick because its slow 3.4 speed and spell damage support both Stormstrike pressure and shock follow-up.
Play aggressively but do not tunnel. Keep Earth Shield and Water Shield active, use Ghost Wolf to connect or escape, apply Flame Shock to stop resets, then Stormstrike into Earth Shock for nature burst. Frost Shock is your chase button. If you are being focused, use Shamanistic Rage early, then Riptide or Lesser Healing Wave before you are forced too low.
