right ok i know my gear is terrible at the moment but ive just hit 80 on my shammy and was wondering what the ele hit cap is, also and tips on rotation, glyphs, gear upgrades and any randomness to do with my shammy.
(ignore the resto spec atm thats just for when i get some decent goodies for my ele spec)

The hit cap is 17%, we get 3% from talents so that leaves 14% to be covered by gear, and 11% if you regularly run with a boomkin or shadowpriest. Your spec and glyph choice are fine. Your rotation should be Flame Shock -> Lava Burst -> Lightning bolt till LvB is off CD. Make sure your FS DoT stays up, cast LvB as much as you can. Put in Chain Lightning as often as you can on trash.
ah ok ty atm im using FS>LvB>CL>FrstS>LB then rinse and repeat but ill try that one

the spirt gem was really only a placeholder to get the bonus, as at the time it was the only effective blue slot gem i could make

To get to 14% spell hit you'll need 368 hit.
... side note from when I looked at your armory gear. Never gem for Spirit. I don't have any issues with you having spirit on your gear while your gearing up. But your gems should be hit until your hit capped. Then spell power until you're at above 2000 self buffed, then worry more about haste and crit.
Your ultimate goal (before 3.3 gear) should be something like this. These numbers are before Raid & food buffs & before gear and talent procs. IE the +200 haste from the lvl245 totem.
3000 spell power self buffed.
30% spell crit
14% hit (368)
800 haste.
If you can get above those numbers, great. If not, keep working on getting gear to get you there.
Once you have the gear and are at 368 hit, you can work on other gear for when you have a boomkin in your group. Drop down to 11% hit and get more crit and haste. Then just switch gear as needed. But always get geared for 14% hit 1st.
where did you pull those numbers from?

Spell pen is actually the way you want to go IMO. Spirit is USELESS for Sham -- Stam is for tanks and PvP -- MP5 is for resto Sham
All raid bosses have a "natural" resistance to everything so a little spell pen goes a long way
very wrong.

Just numbers to shoot for from personal expierence.
Hit and critt is no problem getting yes. But there is just no way in hell your getting 3k SP and 800 haste unbuffed in 232/245 ilvl gear. And it's pointless trying to convince me otherwise, as long as you dont have a link that proves it.
Anyway, spell>haste>critt is priority as long as you got your 11% hit.(asuming you always raid with a shadow priest/balance druid) Otherwise 14%.
Meaning that gemming/enchanting crit is a waste. Your getting the critt you need throw gear anyway.
Crit is wasted for about 25% (23-24% in reality) of our dps since Lava Burst shall always crit.
