Here is a template for the aspiring Enhancement raider.
Enhancement Shaman PvE

Item scores are based on 1 AP = 1 point.
These values were generated from simulation with Yo's DPS & AEP calculator using values from a raiding shaman wearing primarily the best items from T5 instances.

Please note a few caveats:
1. You will always want a helm with a Meta Socket if possible -- the Relentless Earthstorm Diamond is worth about 75 points on this scoring system (including the +12 agility bonus).
2. Stamina and intellect are not weighted in this evaluation. Intellect is largely useless once you have Shamanistic Rage and entry-level gear. Assigning a score to stamina is too arbitrary for my taste, so this list is intended to help you find the pieces that result in the highest DPS, not the best survivability. This does mean that you will socket some pieces differently than Loot Rank suggests.
3. Weapons are ranked for mainhand use, and do not correctly reflect the fact that weapons faster than 2.6 speed are not suitable for use by enhancement shamans. (To get correct offhand rankings, change the value of Melee Weapon DPS to 3.70 -- and again, do not use fast OHs.)
4. Expertise rating has been undervalued by 25% to reflect that items with expertise rating often result in having "partial" expertise which has no effect.
5. Trinkets with "Use" effects or "Equip" procs are not valued properly.
6. Totem ranking is useless. The best totem is Stonebreaker's Totem; the second best totem is Totem of the Astral Winds.

This template was done before we added a few new features.

I have updated it here:

Enhancement Shaman PvE

I have included the 3.7 value for off-hand DPS and added 75 as the meta gem value.

Hi,

I think it would be a good idea to update the default enhancement shaman template to also give 1.1 point to Intellect (just like strength).

I can't imagine any enhance shaman would skip the Mental Dexterity talent, and it "Increases your Attack Power by 100% of your intellect". That together with Ancestral Knowledge that everyone would have to put at least a couple of points in would make it like Strength (perhaps even slightly better, but still worse than Agility).

Not to mention that Intellect, besides the extra mana, also gives some Spell Crit; which is very nice with so much of our damage coming from spells nowadays.

Cheers,
Peter
