that gives you the potentinol of +12% spell hit with 0+hit rating on gear, considering the cap is 16% in pre kara gearing spell hit is not that critically important (but it is for SCC/TK and onwards)

elemental shamans want to load up on +crit and +damage, they ideally want 30%ish spell crit on LB/CL (+11% from talents, +14% with totem)
this lets them chain crit like mad, keeping clearcasting up as much as possible.
other than that loading up spell damage of course.

a good starter for elemental shaman is the season 1 pvp gear, because they need to rely on +hit a lot less (due to talents) and the 4 set bonus of 70% pushback immunity on LB/CL is just awesome.

of course this is aimed at kara, once you start going beyond they'll need to be spell hit capped just like everyone else.
