If you are good at what you do, any spec is mythic viable.
Very doubtful. Restoration and Enhancement most likely, but considering that Elementals Maelstrom mechanic is only an afterthought to Enh, with no real death on top of talents, traits and abilities working against each other.
Of course you'll see Elementals in mythic+, but you can be more than sure that other specs will be preferred by PuGs.
If you're aiming for realm firsts you'll have to run fotm specs. Otherwise you'll be fine running whatever spec you want.
If your spec flexible as a shaman there's a good chance groups will take you for lust alone. Resto Shaman have a pretty unique tool kit as far as healers go as well.
The question is what goals you have. You can do mythic+ with every spec. But pugs will mostly look out for specs that have good aoe burst, st and mobility. That's something elemental isn't that good at...and it can be annoying if you have to ramp up for maelstrom etc.
Enhancer is solid and was pretty OP when I tested it, but that was before the nerfs. But they should do fine now too. Don't know bout resto, but the ones we had had no real problems to keep us alive...
I'm a bit worried about Enhancement's AE viability. I haven't done any mythic+ since the nerfs, but doing regular mythic Arcway/CoS felt like our AE was pretty weak.
Elementals AoE is not fantastic and it probably wont be brought to Mythic+ (they dont have damage, they dont have the utility and remember Mythic + will be mostly made up of overperforming specs that can perform some sort of trick to make the dungeon easier) and will have very much the same experience as they had this expansion for raiding at the Mythic level.

which ones? we have a total of 3 arti traits that boost AoE 2 of which aren't all that good.
Static Overload would be awesome if it had a more consistent proc rate, but at it's current 10% I hardly ever see it proc on thrash packs.
The Ground trembles is ok if you enter an aoe fight with full Mealstrom where you can immediatly drop 2 EQ totems otherwise the mealstrom buildup takes quite awhile.
Electric Discharge static damage so can't complain there.
But yeah as itterated in this thread Ele Shaman AoE isn't up there along the Demon hunters and mages of Legion, single target burst is okish again nothing top tier anymore,sustain is even worse.
again maybe blizz will do some positive tuning for Ele next week but I wouldn't hold your breath for it.
Earthquake takes like 2 to 3 chain lightnings to drop and does like 10% of the damage it used to. Ele's damage overall is just extremely low right now, I'm not sure what's going on.
HEROES NEVER DIE
Electric Discharge, 15% CL damage
Master of the Elements, 12% overload damage
Static Overload, 10% chance for all CL hits to cause overload
The Ground Trembles, 15% EQ damage
Volcanic Inferno, LvB has a chance to cause a fissure to deal some small AoE damage
and most imporantly
Stormkeeper, 1min cd, 3 next CL's cause 200% extra damage and summon the lightning elemental (Fury of the Storms) for 8 seconds.
So, not 3 arti traits, but 7. No other class/spec has this much buffed AoE damage from artifact.
I don't get it. Everything you say is negative, everything you say is having a whinge and cry about elemental, everything you say is for people to re-roll resto or a mage. If you hate the spec so much why dont you fck off and go play another class and let us all enjoy our elemental shamans without your negative crap.
