They pretty much do around the same dps.
That said, i prefer the playstyle of enhance, instead of sitting there spamming a rotation things are a little more random, you'll have a priority list rather than a rotation due to maelstrom weapon, You'll also get feral spirit which spawns two ghostwolves which can heal you, while messing up other classes pretty bad with a stun and some decent dps, plus they can free you from snares.
On the other hand, if you like big numbers, you could go ele, though pvping as ele is still a little hard right now, due to a lack of survival talents. You do have thunderstorm which can be fun in AB and EotS when you knock a few people off lumber mill, or into the nether, it's also fairly useful when defending the bridge in AV matches, (or taking out a bridge defense if you're horde.) It's currently their sole mana restoration ability though.
When raiding both have some very useful things they bring to the raid or to 5-mans as well, Elemental Oath for ele will boost the crit rate of everyone around you, while enhance shamans get unleashed rage, which will soon be getting a buff, though currently it only gives 10% atp whenever you crit to your group.
Basically, enhance shaman is more of a unique, in-your-face caster which will sometimes blast you with a melee chain lightning, having little you can do about it, and elemental is more Big numbers, taking out 1/4th someones health in a single shot.

i got a full epic enhancement shaman with epic weps all that blablabla
then i
repsecced elemental, and found me doing 2-300 more dps with crap gear
now i am elemental: you do more DMG its that way really, in pvp if you dont charge like a idiot, noone will survive your LB spam exept a bubble, and if you add the flamshocklavaburst chainlightning combo that will take 10k atleast of the enemies life
in 3.09 go elemental, but as soon as 3.1 comes up we will see wich spec is better
oh here is my spec btw

Then you were doing something wrong.. Ive never been out dps'd by an elemental shaman other than overll damage done for trash, single target and boss fights Enhance is better damage hands down. Alot more fun than shooting lightning IMO as well. But for PvP elemental is better only because the further away from people you are the longer you live as a shaman.. sadly. lol

I've been Enhance since day one, so maybe I'm a little biased, but I've always found being a melee caster more interesting than a ranged. The new mechanics make it even better now that I have to pay attention to my rotation, while Ele just added three more buttons to the same tired rotation.
Disclaimer: I am thinking about making my dual-spec Ele, as Skiba mentioned the truth, Ele does live a lot longer in PvP because of the ranged aspect.
