Generally Shamans did resto spec for PvE and a ele/resto or resto/enhance for PvP...it didn't make as big of a difference then as it did later. Enhancement was a little better against Warrior and Rogue, which could be some of your weaker 1v1s, where as ele was better vs casters and actually securing kills in group... Most were went dagger/shield enhancement at the top (enhancement wasn't the double axe spec stuff then).
Hand of Edward the Odd would have been by far the best weapon for them but no one ever had one. There was also that dagger off the open world dragon that no one seemed to have (like one person on my server).
This is all like initial launch/MC era into BWL...then I quit for the most part and didn't play much until WotLK. At that point there wasnt't that notable of difference between players with top end blue gear and players with top end purple gear. Its extremely easy to get top end blue gear and not that hard to get some purple stuff.
