Instead of dots with resist debuffs you have a debuff line of spells.
Shamans are pretty weak at the start but they get more and more badass specifically at lvl 24 39 49 51, (epic click is nasty) and 60 (torpor, start saving now though heh) this is only in my opinion however.
Alteration should be your main specialize since it covers healing/slowing/debuff and all your stat buffs which is where most of your mana will go unless you are soloing. Even then you will still be casting alteration spells just to a lesser degree
