Given equal skill he ought to beat you in a few spots and you'll beat him in a few as well. Aside from scumbagging dps.
As far as enchance vs feral buffs, yea enhance buff was massive.
But understanding how enhance works vs. feral is important. Enhance is all about huge burst at the beginning and again when cooldowns back up. While feral is one of the only specs currently, aside from WW and maybe shadow priest, where your dps pretty much stays the same the entire fight. Everyone else pops big cooldowns to be on top of meters for about 30 seconds, and then gets to watch their dps slowly plummet. So on fights where there may be periods of having nothing to attack (Lei-shen, Animus, Iron Qon) The downtime actually helps classes like shaman in comparison to feral. Their cooldowns are allowed to countdown so the portion of the fight that they have cooldowns popped grows larger to the portion where their dps would already be bad without cooldowns. While feral dps is more or less the same throughout the fight so downtime hurts us more.
Kind of a confusing concept but I hope I conveyed it well enough.
