There are multiple ways to reach the Spell Hit Cap of 5%. If you haven’t reached 5% yet, your second BiS option is sometimes better if it provides hit chance. For example, if you have less than 5% Spell Hit, Cord of the Untamed is better than Belt of the Forsaken Worshipper. If you can reach 5% hit without Cord of the Untamed, Belt of the Forsaken Worshipper is superior. Madness of the Avatar with Belt of the Forsaken Worshipper is stronger than Hubris, the Bandit Brander with Cord of the Untamed, if you have all options available.

Elemental Shaman Stat Priority

As an Elemental Shaman you want to prioritize gear with the following stats:

1. Up to 16% Spell Hit Chance against level 60 raid bosses.
2. Spell Critical Hit
3. Intellect
4. Spell Damage = Nature Damage

After reaching the hit cap, more Hit Chance has no additional value. Due to the Spell Hit Chance from your finger runes, you only need 10% Spell Hit Chance from your gear.
