yes i am sure you can solo them, but right now i believe the best class/spec combo for soloing is still blood DKs then protection paladins

I solo MC as an enh shaman every week, it's trivial provided you know where to stand when you fight Rag. Anything lower than BC raids should be easily soloable by an enh shaman, with the exception of AQ40 (haven't personally tried AQ20 or 40), and BWL due to mechanics of the first fight.

You can solo a lot of instances as Enhancement. The auto healing on Wolves and Maelstrom-GHW almost guarantees your survival.
While Resto would be a good alternative, some fights can chain silence/interrupt you, i.e. ZG pre-cata (tiger boss). Also, you would probably be killing Ragnaros for a good hour or so.
Elemental.. well, it's possible but the least viable.

pfffft. You say that like things live past the first rotation

Enhancement is good enough that I have competitions with the blood dk in my guild: Who can solo something faster?
He beat me by 2 minutes in 25 man TK (shocked I was actually able to), but I can beat him when it comes to soloing wrath heroics, only because I provide higher dps of course. It is definitely tougher for us to solo content when compared to dks, but being able to get Marrowgar to 30% is pretty good to me =)

zg, except hakkar mc resets her
If you don't lay down totems or use wolves, she doesn't mc in my experience
mc, rag is easy as ele fall damage from knock back sucks
Position yourself to land in lava and no fall damage
kara, all except the dragon couldnt summon him
If you meant netherspite, you can force him into the corner and take all the beams and finish him by first banish is done
you can not solo bwl aq20 or aq40, first boss in aq20 is going to be dropping silence on you alot and its hard to see when its under you
you can farm trash before first boss in aq40 lower mount drop than later but you can solo those
I soloed all of AQ20 and all of AQ40 except for twins and C'thun due to mechanics. I thought they were rather easy.
As for BWL, my guild never wanted to do it, so I soloed all of it for the achievement. Since I had never been there, it was a little rough but I took out everything, I think.

To chime in on AQ and Twins:
If you can get someone to help you out, you can two man it easily.
I went a month or two ago (maybe 3, I forget) with myself (Enhancement Shaman), my brother (Combat Rogue), and 2 guildies (Paladin & Death Knight), and after wiping the first time against the twins, we decided to only have me and the DK fight (as our Pally buddy was pretty drunk at the time).
We duo'd the twins with no real problems (even though I lost agro once and then spam healed back most of their health). All you need to do is keep them in opposite corners, and get that initial snap-agro when they change places.
So yeah, you can solo the entire place, call in a buddy who would be willing to dance around for 10 minutes or so, and then run off to whack the old god in the face.

Yeah, that's what I did. I got my friend to come in and help me out on twins and then we went and 2 manned C'thun as well..

I did ZG every reset and killed every boss including Hakkar every time. I have done it both as enhance and elemental.
If you meant Nightbane, he is cake to solo. I did that on my mage.
When I said "all of AQ40 except twins and C'thun due to mechanics," that's all I meant. You implied you couldn't kill anything except the adds at beginning that you mentioned. Again, I could solo all the bosses I did as enhance as ele except Princess Huhuran. Also did all of AQ20 as ele, it just takes a little longer.
I said "I think" I did all of bwl. I did it soon after I hit 85, and it took me 2 hours because I didn't know any of the mechanics. I may have ended up skipping stuff.

And to chime in again:
Even though the "guy" is optional in AQ, I could never get
Viscidus
to die... even with a Rogue to help... Dual
, Frost Shock, and burning cooldowns when we finally got him frozen wasn't enough.
That being said: I'm not saying "he" is impossible, just a royal pain in the butt... as we got him down to 1% quit easily, then spent about 5 minutes getting him frozen, and then had him pop out because we couldn't DPS enough to break "him".
fyi- in order for your fire or earth elemental to survive fighting you and hakkar you would need to have no gear and alot of untalented points and alot spells you never trained. and hakkar does not mc elementals.
It's not a problem of having Hakkar MC the elemental... its a problem of him having the option of now MCing you, a there is another object in the fight... Hakkar won't MC if there is only one target. Hakkar will MC if there is more than one target.
I had to solo Hakkar after he MC'd the Rogue I went with, who I also burned down (because it was funny), so its only a problem when you're not totally alone.

Finally, someone knows how much of a pain in the @$$ Viscidus is...
It took me 5 weeks before I finally gave him 3 hours of my time to solo him. I used the fastest daggers I could find with frostbrand on them until I got him close to freeze, then I switched to wf on both weapons. On my last few frost shocks to freeze I popped wolves, BL, lifeblood, and berserking. Doing all that 4 seperate freezes and I finally shattered him.
It just wasn't worth it... I felt no accomplishment in killing that blob...

I would love to make videos for soloing, but I had to quit WoW...
There are several videos on youtube of shaman soloing old content. Too bad I wasn't recording when I got marrowgar to 20% (just ran out of cds in the long run). If you want to see the gear I used for most of my soloing, I logged off in my enhance gear.
Armory.
As for gear I soloed with while in wrath, just slap on a full set of deadly (yes, deadly) and that pretty much sums up my gear up until cata hit. I leveled toons a lot in wrath if you're wondering why I had that crap.
