Shaman soloing has a lot of different options. Up until about level 20, I would usually just pull with a slow and then melee with my 2hb. There's lots of cheap options available for those. I'd either hit the mob with a dot as well at the start, or just mix in a nuke or two in between swings.
I found 20-24 to be a little harder, and spent most of my time grouped there. Our dots seemed pretty weak then, and I was taking too much damage while dealing too little going toe to toe with my Glowing Wooden Crook.
Once I hit 24, I started root rotting with decent success. Resists are definitely an issue, but not bad if you stick to dark blues a couple levels below you. An outdoor zone is pretty important, because you want to be able to have SoW up and have room to run when you have a string of bad resists. More than once I ended up kiting a mob for 10+ minutes when I ran OOM due to resists. I'd get far enough ahead, sit to a med tick, then run some more until eventually I could bring them down. Alternatively, it would be faster to just zone or root them and camp out. I was averaging about 1 yellow an hour solo, and this was untwinked with less than 100 wisdom.
I'd rather group though and only solo when I don't have much time or can't find a group or a duo.
