ele shaman style - nuke based, with burst damage. Raid buffs are spell haste, 5% crit, 10% spell power, Healing Stream Totem or Tranquil Mind, plus Armor + Strength/Agi if needed. They can off-heal if needed.
warlock style - dot based, consistent damage. Raid buffs are 5% spell crit debuff, Dark Intent, 8% magic debuff, and (spec dependent) 10% spell power and Replenishment. They also have utilities to summon, create healthstones and soulstone resurrection. limited defensive cds, although they boast 20% soul link damage reduction and affliction has crazy self-heals.
Depends on server, on Sargeras there tend to be a lot of Shamans so getting into class runs you may find it easier as a warlock. Ele Dps for me didn't get respectable(25k+) until I got to 390 ilvl not sure how that compares to a lock.
i do like the shaman but when u seen bane of doom do 54k crits in pve at 366 ilvl makes me wow a lock doing this damage :D
