I saw this deck posted on a random site when I googled Shaman decks. I threw it together to try it out; climbed the latter to 3 star gold in a single sitting (first time playing ranked). Any improvements/comments?
If you get the dust craft earth elementals. Those guys win me more games than ANYTHING else. You could remove the uh, uh, god thats a solid deck, I hate removing anything to do it. I don't care for forked lightning, but it's still a good card. Meh doesn't look like they'll fit.
I like Forked more than Doomhammer. With the nerf to healing stream, it is sometimes lackluster, if you don't have a rockbiter at hand to buff it. It shares the same Situation with Assassin's Blade, to costly for its baseline damage.

Overall it looks like a great deck to me. I think the only swap that would be an option for me would be to swap 1x Spellbreaker for 1x Acidic Swamp Ooze in case you face a Warrior with Gorehowl or a Rogue with a buffed up weapon.
The only thing that could reasonably be removed to fit an Earth Elemental while still keeping with the spirit of the deck is 1x Fire Elemental, which may prove beneficial in the long run; you'd be giving up the 3 battle-cry damage for a stronger card that can be played for 1 less mana (with overload)
After some testing, I would personally vouch that this is a strong deck. It got me from Diamond 3 to Masters 1 in a breeze, whereas I struggled with with Madskull's shaman deck due to an over-reliance on constantly drawing removal cards early on. The lack of expensive cards does start showing at Master's where many people have legendaries and virtually everyone is running over 2 epics; on the other hand, there's nothing more satisfying than beating someone who drops legendary after legendary with a cheap deck like this.
At a glance, it looks like a generically good deck. Any control deck can carry you up rankings consistently if you have atleast half or more of the following cards:
I absolutely do not recommend 2 Flametongue Totem as well as Bloodlust.
It's a win more card, if you're losing they're 90% of the time completely useless or not worth the cost.
Doom hammer is really a situational card. It cost 5 and overload you by 2 mana which is a huge. People nowadays have 1-2 Ooze on their deck and Doom hammer will drain your life away if you use it for board control as you'll likely to take damage twice. For face hitting it can be decent, 5 + (2) mana for 16 damage seems nice, but 5 mana + 2 overload can dramatically lower your board presence.

Constructed player, mains Warlock, Rouge, and Shaman <3 Priests and Paladins are gay :( Mages are nasty :P
I love this deck. I'm like 17-2 in ranked at around plat 3. Just wondering, is there anyway to strengthen this deck through legendaries or epics or swapping out something? Or a similar kind of deck. I want it perfect!

I would remove the weapons, bloodlust and flametounge totem. Add Lightning Bolts, Faerie Dragons and Azure Drakes.
