Shamans aren't very good soloers until much later. They start out awful and slowly ramp up as they level. Here are the big events that make you a better soloer:
9) SoW - lets you kite, lets you avoid dying easily.
14) Root - lets you root-dot.
24) Canni + regen - extra mana.
34) Pet - A little extra free DPS if you're root-dotting, a little more if you're meleeing (though you probably shouldn't be meleeing at this point), lets you kite again, though this isn't necessarily worth it, can provide a bit of CC while you're getting stuff rooted in a multiple pull.
45) JBB - if you have platinum coming out of your ass, you get a free nuke.
50) Spear of Fate - Free DoT, and you don't need to be rich to get it.
60) Torpor - you are a god.
So, at 21, don't be surprised that it's slow-going. Do some grouping if you can, it might be faster. Meleeing wouldn't hurt, I guess, though once you have canni+regen, I think it's less efficient.
