Experimental hybrid. MythicSim simulates it with 29 points in Elemental Combat and 22 points in Enhancement, race Dwarf, and ranks it among the damage dealers.
Elemental spells and weapon strikes
The Elemental Shaman casts Lightning Bolt, Earth Shock and Lava Burst. Elehance adds the Enhancement tree, with Stormstrike and Flurry, to hit with the weapon between casts. The simulator’s rotation handles the switching: it casts Lava Burst when the next auto attack is not imminent.
Damage, opener and rotation of Elehance
Lightning Bolt (19.1% of the damage), Earth Shock (12.7%) and Lava Burst (12.6%) weigh the most in the simulation.
Before the fight the character uses Strength of Earth Totem (3.5 s before) and Lightning Bolt (2 s before). The simulator’s priority list starts with Magma Totem, Strength of Earth Totem, Fire Nova and Flame Shock; the full list, with the condition of each line, is in the Rotation block below.
On the talent side, the build takes Concussion, Elemental Devastation, Elemental Alacrity and Call of Flame to maximum rank in Elemental Combat, then Thundering Strikes, Mental Dexterity, Elemental Weapons and Mental Quickness to maximum rank in Enhancement.

Simulation details
What the simulated character does during the 120 s of the fight, where its 727 DPS without trinkets come from (748 DPS quoted above with the trinket pair), which effects it has and in which order it casts.
Damage breakdown
Each line is an ability: the damage per second it adds, its share of the total, how many times it is cast in a fight, the damage of an average cast and, for a lasting effect, the part of the fight where it is active.

What the Elehance simulation does not tell
MythicSim plays one scenario only: a single target, a short fight, the gear described by the credit line. Neither a multi-boss raid nor PvP enters the calculation, and its simulation engine is not the game.
Going Further
To compare with the official Shaman trees, see Shaman Elemental Combat, Shaman Enhancement and Shaman Restoration. Elehance also appears in the WoW Forever Tier List, and every build of the section is on the hub.
