"Small" comment to the Elemental build regarding the Glyphs:
I've swapped out Lava with Lightning Bolt, in order to get the 3 best Glyph for damage. Lightning Bolt is such a big source of our damage (Lava Burst and Flame Shock taken into consideration), that 4% increase of that adds up to alot. In the end, Flame Shock, Totem of Wrath and Lightning Bolt ends up being the best.
... and the bonus connent: I prefer the Renewed Life one over Astral Recall, as I *HATE* forgetting to buy new reagents, and well.. you can save a fine bit of money in the end. On top of that, I don't really Recall and HS that much - and with the HS cooldown being 30 mins now, it's extremely rare that it becomes useful.
I'll leave it to a pro restoration-shaman to look at the other build :)

Unless you're only doing pre-ulduar 25 content I'd swap out the CL glyph with LHW glyph since Chain Heal HPS just sucks compared to Riptide-LHW combo in ulduar.
Also don't see why would you take the Improved Healing Way since I don't remember when was the last time I used that in a boss fight.LHW is better once more.You can spread those 5 points in Elemental Weapons/Totemic Focus or just Totemic Focus,tho I believe the first option's much better.
As for the Elemental build,it's the standard cookie-cutter PvE which requires just the small glyph change Gnubigena mentioned.Swap out the Lava glyph with Lightning Bolt glyph.
Later on once you get yourself 4k SP you'll start using Lava glyph again but instead of Glyph of Totem of Wrath.

Ah missed the PTR site part,just glided through the text,if you're after 3.2 talent build then ignore my last tip about CL glyph too,since Chain Heal will at least be worth a shot after the water shield and range buffs.

Restoration:
I have the exact same build with 1 exception: I have
Elemental Weapons
instead of
Ancestral Awakening
. I never used the AA, so I don't know if it's any good, but I liked the EW bonus to EL.

I'm sorry you feel that way,but since I'm much more Arena wise turned shaman and I'm not in the one of the top EU guilds I'm not gonna take my experience as a measure.But you cannot honestly tell me that shamans from Ensidia,Vis Major and all the other world class guilds who have to be on the edge of their gameplay are "not utilizing their array of spells properly".CL is a nice spell when you really need it,but Riptide-LHW healing has much more HPS as I already mentioned.
Healing Wave just shouldn't be used for now,I cannot think of a reason to do so since 2xLHWs will do the job even better while retaining mana efficiency and you're actually healing much more stable. In that 2 sec it takes to get a HW off there's ^&*!load of damage to go around and those 2 seconds could mean someone dead or huge overhealing since you're not the only healer watching Grid go up 'n' down,while the risks of something like that happening with LHW are greatly reduced.

I do recall a restoration shaman of ensidia saying that he wouldn't use chain heal unless the cast was 1.5 sec or something similar, maybe you have interpreted too much of lone quotes from pro raiders.
Watch the kill videos.

*facepalm* Elemental weapons is a much worse talent then Ancestral Awakening. Think of ancestral awakening like this: 30% more critical heal effect on your HW, LHW and Riptide, but it will almost never overheal. It is an essential talent and one of the main reasons alot of shamans prefer the LHW/Riptide style now.
