Shaman Slam is very useful in my experience on shaman, especially while leveling. It's your main tool to interrupt NPCs casting, and even if unreliable I've still had it save me a lot of grief. I always keep it on my action bar.
As far as how fun is shaman? It's not for everyone, but it's still my favorite class. It's strong in groups and solo, it functions well without any gear but scales incredibly well if you're willing to sink a lot of plat into it. It starts strong, starts to drag in the late 20's but picks back up at 34 when you get your pet. Just be ready to drop a ton of plat into your gear and spell book by the end game.
