Considering I have never really played on a regular basis with a non-resto shaman, do enhancement shaman typically out-dps the usual top dps classes? (Mages, locks, etc.) Because holy crap does my shaman do a lot of damage. I haven't run with any rogues or other melee dps classes with my shaman yet (other than really bad cat druids*), so this is new to me.
*One in particular was ragging on a retadin (who was actually doing a good job) about what gear he had instead of fighting, so we all told the druid to just shut up and fight. They finally did, but instead of staying in cat form, they started casting but then ran up and just started hitting targets with their staff. Then they just stopped casting all together and just kept hitting things with they're staff. I had to have a few words with this person on how to properly play a druid, because that was all kinds of stupid to say shit about another player while not even playing their own character right.

You have a lowbie shaman, right? Enhancement shaman are solid contributors, but they shouldn't be top dps at 80. Before then it's basically up for grabs though and will depend on the level range you're talking about and the player and gear more than anything else, particularly since heirloom weapons are so good. For example, in a situation where everyone's geared and tearing through things left and right I'd definitely take a lowbie warrior with glyphed cleave over a rogue, since we don't really have much AoE prior to 80. Some classes were simply designed more in mind for single target sustained dps back in the vanilla level ranges, so it doesn't always work so hot now that people just pull everything and tear through. Ultimately it's just leveling and everyone get the job done, so no biggie.
Dazed:
Yeah they definitely don't outdps actual dpsers at 80, but whilst leveling enh shamans can crush just about anything.

Ok, that's what I was thinking, but I'm ok with that because it makes leveling go so much faster. Hopefully soon I'll be level 40 and will get chainmail and shortly after that get dual wielding and crush even more things.

Hybrid tax in raids, they boost raid dps but never top dps. Althought their personal dps is not anything special, they benefit the raid for haste & bl & totemz.
