70-75: Enhancement if you have decent enough gear for it. If all your gear is caster gear anyway, go elemental anyway.
75-80 and endgame: Whichever you want, they're both equally good.

I've played both at end-game 70, and for me (all blues except the odd kara purple, not geared by any stretch) elemental far out-dps'd enhancement. I also had a much easier time managing threat :D
That's as far as my experience goes, for all I know it could completely flip by the time you get properly geared.
And in saying that, its not all about dps. As a support class, keep in mind which totems and area buffs will suit your guild more. Some of the enhancement group bonuses are pretty handy for your melee comrades, and of course vice versa for the elemental buffs.

well kara isnt endgame... and threat should never be a problem if you know what your doing and your tanks arnt bad.
ive played both spec up to kil'jeaden and have full heroic/raid epics for both specs at 80 now and ele can not touch the amount of dps enhance can do now. im seeing about about 2000dps difference with ele at around 2500-3000dps and enhance from 4000-5000dps so as you can see not even close
Your elemental shaman did 3700 dps not ~2750 like you stated plus the elemental talent tree is supposed to be getting completly redone in a patch or two. But as of right now I would agree enhance does more dps atm.

End-game starts when you reach the level cap. So Kara was a part of end-game pre-WotLK.
