Can always move while casting lightning bolt. Believe you are thinking of Spiritwalker's Grace that lets you move while casting lava bolt.

Fact. I leveled my Shaman up from level 82 to 90 on Timeless Isle so if I could do it at 82, you should be able to do it now. Granted at 82 the only thing I was killing were the catepillars under the trees, but the methodology remains the same. Pretend you are a hunter without a pet and
keep running .
Lightning bolt on the run ftw and as you mention, the rooting totem when needed and continual use of frost shock to stay in front of the mobs. If you are going up one that is particularly strong, pop hero, cast fire elemental, flame shock, pop ascendance and spiritwalkers grace (I have them macro'd together), and spam lava bolt on the run ftw. If needed, you still have your lightning bolts and elemental. Use your roots and frost shock (or elemental) to buy time to either self heal, cast elemental blast, or lava burst.
I really, really, enjoy the elly shammy. Agree though it is different, and not as easy as a warlock on the Isle. But to be fair, the warlock on the isle is WAY OP with the blueberry that doesn't get hit with any of the fire spells. I can't think of any other class that can solo rep grind as easy as a warlock with a blueberry out. Truly, it is borderline unfair because you can just ignore the mechanics that one shot all the other classes.
