Im not a expert in Shaman, but that talent tree idea you posted seem more lean to dps.

You can't be a tank if you're using shock dps. You wither go enhancement and tank with rest/ele backup or you go ele with rest/enh backup..and if u go ele u don't tank you just dps..

Either way..this build since it's full enhancement can work for tanking, but you're trying to get shock spells used a lot which requires int and mana which would be you sacrificing str gear for tanking..kind of a contradictory build.

They can never tank, they can only ever OT or provide dps and backup healing. That's the role of the Shaman.

And Stormstrike is the biggest waste of talent points...EVER

Enhancement/Restoration is the way to go. You get the best of PvP and Instance Raids. Resto for instances and enhancement for PvP (And dps on mobs/bosses).
