Like I said before, NS vs EM for general fighting, I pick NS, most people I know pick NS, but I can see the arguement the other way and woln't call you wrong for picking it. But that assumes you are going to mill around the middle of the field. For flag chasing or flag escorting, NS blows EM away. There are no ifs ands or buts. If the flag stops, the game is over anyways. If the flag is moving, 1.5 seconds is too long. And if you are playing WSG with the intent to win, flag chasing and flag escorting are 90% of the game.
I played 4 games of WSG last night. The alliance was a team 3 of them, and all of the teams had druids. The horde had no druids, but then we usually had 4 players, and just stood to the side so they could cap before the game ended.
And I checked the characters in your sig, the warrior is 53 and if the shaman is 60, he doesn't pvp much.

Well, despite the fact that I do heal, I prefer to simply kill people rather than try to out-heal their damage. EM definitely helps with this; two (and sometimes even three) Earth Shock crits in a row is enough to bring down pretty much anything, and I've got solid melee capabilities in addition to this :)
NS is certainly more versatile, since it can be a heal or a nuke, but I'd still rather have EM in pretty much all cases.
Also, I'm more or less not playing WoW anymore as of almost a month ago (I do play occasionally, but more as a glorified Instant Messaging service than as a game), so those characters won't be increasing in level very much for a little while more; most of my Warrior experience comes from raising and doing things with my first 60 (and occasionally a few minutes with my friend's 60 when they're raiding) and from my friend's Shaman. Unfortunately, I find the 1-59 game a great deal more fun than the schiztophrenic (sp?) Lv.60 game Blizzard's got going right now :(
