I've seen this question asked multiple times, and the answer has been the same:
Earth Shock will do more damage than Flame Shock, due to it's higher damage on crit and it's synergy with stormstrike. Even with the DoT, flame shock will fall behind. Thus, to set up the combo, you're gimping your DPS.
Then, lava burst has a cast time. That cast time is time in which you are NOT proccing windfury, NOT proccing flurry and unleashed rage, and NOT proccing maelstrom weapon. So while you get that big shiny lava burst, you lose a lot of white DPS, buffs, and lightning bolt damage.
Stick to instants as enhance - primarily nature (although still use lava lash if your other abilities are on CD). But I'd only use lava burst if you're forced to range, such as on Loken's nova.
EDIT: lolnoob...I wouldn't go to EJ anymore. I've seen too much in their posts that's contradictory to what a lot of players I've seen on other forums say (and not because EJ is right, either).

The whole idea behind using FS->LB as an opener is actually the 100% proc chance on Elemental Devastation.
