I also find it kind of frustrating that there's so much class bias and nose-turning at specs that are supposedly inferior even though the difference in numbers is small at best, maybe not nothing, but certainly neglibable and nothing that will make or break a raid. A Boomie and an Ele Shaman are still going to come fairly close to each other, assuming both have equal gear and skill.

Boomkins provide Innervate/Battleress, a lot of buffs/utlity ontop of having superior dps.
I wonder how you even consider that "fairly close".

If I may ask, OP, where did you get this information from?
In terms of EnH I'd agree that its bad reputation is sometimes bias because a BiS Enh who knows what he's doing can definitly compete with other hybrid classes DPS vice. You could argue that it also brings a unique buff because https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=52456 makes strength of earth totem better than horn of winter.
On the other hand most EnH players are no benefit for the raid because they don't know how to play and gear it properly.
