I did 1-30/34 (can't remember when it stopped being worthwhile, but it was one of those spell levels) as a primarily melee shaman with gear my rogue was wearing (some filler slots for what the rogue didn't provide) and no haste. AC/HP/STR. Poison Wind Censer makes it really easy. My shaman is an Ogre, but I don't think you're experience will be much different. After 30/34 I switched into wisdom gear for root rotting and healing while grouping.
