People take damn near every class and spec without question in my experience. I've never been turned down as a feral DPS, and I've seen tons of off meta specs and classes in my guilds raid runs. Hell, we even have a few shamtanks, because why not? As long as you're with the right people, you'll have a spot all the time. I don't know about gear priorities though.
Elmhoof - 60 Feral, between tanking/dps (Main)
Anbone 34 Shadow Priest (Planned secondary main)
Manypunchman - 10 Naked Troll Boxer (Hardcore)

I'm back! More or less...

Enhancement is pretty bad in terms of personal DPS, but it has Bloodlust you can use on a pumper DPS to make yourself a little more valuable (it's still bad overall though).
Elemental seems to have better personal DPS but isn't quite there compared to the best specs.
Resto is the easiest spec to find a raid spot as shamans are pretty good healers.
In the end you might be able to find a spot in any spec simply due to totems being invaluable in raids.

Yes. Shaman is a desired class in raids and there never seem to be enough of them. While Resto is preferred, you can find a spot as Elemental or Enhancement.
