Shammy is robust for soloing with a high degree of survivability for the practiced, as i understand it. It is patient work and your spells will be very expensive. Enchanter is immensely powerful for soloing, but with a high risk of death for acts of carelessness--however, Runes to block damage and the caster self-shields mitigate this heavily, and if youre clever with your crowd control and careful with how you set up encounters, you are basically unkillable.
Also, Shaman and Enchanter are both beloved in groups, but a talented Enchanter can take an average group and make it legendary, with IMMENSE dps boosts from Charmed enemies, Clarity to spread the Mana love and powerful, long-lasting hastes and decent slows.
Personally, although my main is a 60 Druid, I chose the Enchanter life for my primary alt! Shammy is fun, but the glory and might of the Enchanter is worth the squishiness and then some. JBoot MQ highly recommended as an early purchase!
Wishing you best of luck with whatever you choose. ^_^
