The two biggest points that Delc made and I'd like to mention again Bolty are to work the shock timer and dispell their buffs, in addition to killing the totems with a quick wand shot. Mogo, even with less than great gear in battlegrounds eats through priests, regardless of spec, if I'm one on one, even the shadow priests I've come across oddly enough. If you're facing a tauren shaman, watch for well-timed warstomps too. Frequently, if I've earthshocked to interrupt a cast and the priest switches schools and starts casting again, a warstomp will buy me that much more time for my cooldowns to run through.
The advice about how they're geared showing the spec is a decent guideline to use, but since two-handed weapons aren't very far into enhancement, you may be facing an enhancement/resto shaman. And Mogo, despite being almost all resto, definitely doesn't wear the same gear as a priest does. The loss in armor doesn't really balance out the extra healing given from nice tasty healy cloth when you know you're going to be getting wailed on in the battlegrounds. Put a nice two-hander in her hands (using herald of woe right now) and I can tear through health pretty quickly. With damage and healing now being increased by 30% of the shaman's intellect (with the full three points), even resto shaman's spells can hurt too, including the silly little fire totems.
Next time we've got a PTR up, Cleoboltra and Mogo should duel, over and over and over.;) My money's on Bolty still, but I'd definitely be willing to give it a shot.:D
