Elemental Shaman Best in Slot — TBC, Phase 4 — Zul'Aman
Phase 4 (Zul'Aman) Best in Slot from the Icy Veins TBC Classic Elemental Shaman Dps gear guide — sourced from the original 2007-2008 Burning Crusade release (both raid tiers are already fully documented regardless of the TBC Anniversary realm's current progress). Icy Veins lists identical gear for Phase 3 and Phase 4 for this spec — Zul'Aman apparently offered no BiS upgrades over Black Temple/Hyjal Tier 6 gear for this role. Enchants show the top-ranked pick per slot; the guide page lists further ranked alternatives. Gems are the general class/role recommendation from the guide's gemming section.
