Best Enhancement Shaman PvP Glyphs
The glyph system has changed quite a bit in Cataclysm as opposed to Wrath of the Lich King. All glyph scrolls that have been learned are now permanent glyphs that can be placed inside major and minor glyph slots, and there are 3 additional prime glyph slots included with the major and minor glyphs. Vanishing powder will be needed to swap out those glyphs. Those will be handy, since some glyphs may be swapped depending on a certain arena matchup.
Prime Glyphs
These three prime glyphs provided below are your primary glyphs within your prime glyph slots. These glyphs are flexible with the exception of Glyph of Lava Lash, making this one your only hardlocked PvP prime glyph.
Glyph of Lava Lash increases your overall damage dealt with Lava Lash. Make sure to pay attention to your Searing Flame stacks on targets, as you will want to consume them with Lava Lash for maximum burst damage.
Glyph of Stormstrike makes your direct nature damaging spells to have a higher crit chance. This allows you to gain more value out of Elemental Devastation and Flurry. This is one of your soft locked talents, but can be changed with any of the 3 prime glyphs listed below.
Glyph of Flame Shock is considerably valuable and better than what most people think. This glyph makes your Flame Shock deal way more spread pressure and consistent damage.
Glyph of Feral Spirit are buffed from your Attack Power, making them even more powerful of an offensive burst cooldown.
Glyph of Windfury Weapon allows you to receive more Windfury procs. This can also assist you in having more Maelstrom Weapon stacks, which provides more damage and healing throughput.
Major Glyphs
These three major glyphs provided below are your primary glyphs within your major glyph slots. These glyphs almost never change.
Glyph of Stoneclaw places an absorb shield on your character, increasing your survivalibility when placing down a Stoneclaw Totem. This can save you during crucial moments.
Glyph of Shamanistic Rage removes all magic debuffs once used. Be careful, as this will proc backlash effects, especially from Affliction Warlock’s Unstable Affliction.
Glyph of Lightning Shield makes Lightning Shield not drop below 3 stacks after dealing backlash damage to enemy targets. Having this will make our globals more efficient.

These have no effect on an arena match. These glyphs can be changed based on your preference, but we have selected our default minor glyphs as Glyph of Renewed Life, Glyph of Waterwalking, and Glyph of Water Breathing.
