Shamans are probably the most underpowered PvP class in the game. Doesn't mean they can't do it, but you will have to heal if you arena, and you will probably only do very well on a 5v5 team.
Next patch shamans are getting some serious buffs though, so wait to see how it goes.

If you're good with shamans you can make a killing spree

I just get frustrated on my enhancement shaman in PvP, maybe resto is better. All I know is, I definately enjoy PvP 500x more on my priest or warrior. Shaman PvP, both arena and BGs, just makes me want to stop playing.

Youtube videos are not a real representation of an average BG.
A good example is this,

.
Sure, these videos have huge numbers and dropping people in a second, but both of these people are wearing PvE gear and the warrior also had 2 healers on him the entire time.
Back to the OP, Shamans do decent in PvP. Resto is getting a good buff in next patch. However, Ele and enhance still do OK. In BGs shamans do pretty good, however, enjoy rogues being able to kill you blindfolded with both hands tied behind their backs and playing with their feet. Yes it is possible to beat them, but it is only if they screw up. Most classes target shamans first, so learn how to survive. I know you said you don't like to do arena, but maybe you will later on. 2s are almost impossible, unless resto. 3s you can do, although never seen an enhance in them. 5s are fine.
