noob 80 looking for a caster role

[sparks]

Well I dinged 80 last month with my enh shammy. It was fun and he his only problem was gear, mainly weapons.
Now I want to cast some spells.
I thought about healing and will do that but right now I was thinking ele build.
Then a buddy slammed me real hard. HELL you have a 77 druid get him to 80. Better damage and AOE ele builds suck.

OK we are talking fresh 80 here NOT a full blown T8+ build.

Is ele a joke compared to a big fat bird?


ps can you use the same gear for ele and restoration?
Anyone got a list of starter AH gear stats I should grab to try this out?
