Windfury is by far the best end-game enhancment enchant. It adds a flat +56% boost to what would be a gear boosted high DPS amount. Windfury is not as good if that DPS amount isn't gear boosted, which is where the other weapon attacks come in.

Rockbiter, in 2.01 rockbiter is inferior to Flametoungue and Icebrand in every way. It can be mitigated by armor and it doesn't proc off of stormstrike. Pre-2.01 it was only superior in DPS to Windfury (both at level 60) if the base DPS of the shaman was less than 75 (Base DPS = Weapon DPS + Atk power DPS).

Flametoungue. Flametoungue is the elemental shaman's weapon enchant. Does exceptional damage on an incredibly fast 1 hander as the +10% spell damage effect does not scale with weapon speed.

NOTE: Currently in 2.01, flametoungue's damage is calculated by your main hand's speed. If you dual-wield a 2.8 speed mainhand, flametoungue will do very well enchanted on your offhand as it will scale itself as if the main hand speed weapon were hitting. This is possibly not intentional and might get fixed in the following patch.
 
   
Icebrand. Icebrand is a great enchant for a poorly equipped enhancement shaman. It procs off of stormstrike, making it acceptable. It's main bonus is it's snare, so it is often used by elemental or resto shamans who aren't looking to kill, just to maim.

Tips

Windfury vs Rockbiter vs Flametoungue vs Icebrand.

Windfury is by far the best end-game enhancment enchant. It adds a flat +56% boost(talented) to what would be a gear boosted high DPS amount. Windfury is not as good if that DPS amount isn't gear boosted, which is where the other weapon attacks come in.

Rockbiter is the poor shaman's best friend. It is only superior in DPS to Windfury (both at level 60) if the base DPS of the shaman was less than 75 (Base DPS = Weapon DPS + Atk power DPS). I will update this when the BC hits.

Flametoungue. Flametoungue is the elemental shaman's weapon enchant. Does exceptional damage on an incredibly fast 1 hander as the +10% spell damage effect does not scale with weapon speed.

Icebrand. Icebrand is a great enchant for a poorly equipped enhancement shaman or any resto shaman. It procs off of stormstrike, making it acceptable. It's main bonus is it's snare, so it is often used by elemental or resto shamans who aren't looking to kill, just to maim.
