i have 2 lvl 63 ( ty refer) and 2 level 62 shamans, and a lvl 66 pally. what isntance can i run that i wont wipe every 5 seconds, but i get good gear and exp. im trying to get level 70 before WoTLK comes out. also, i have a spam for my shammy's something like
/castsequence chain lightning, lightning bolt, fire shock
is that a good macro setup? i also have my higher level shamans cast lesser heal while the other to cast the bigger heal :P that seems to work out well. only thing that gets me is the casting range for the chain lightning... to fire shock . my guys will constantly stop attacking because my range on fire is a lot lower ( as you probably know) besides making my guys run forward, is there a range ui i could use to see how far i am from someone?
Sorry spelling errors and i do not know if the spells are exactly correct and all that good stuff i am at work trying to figure it out for when i get home. Thanks for the help

That castsequece is going to fail, remember that the sequense will stop if the next spell is on cooldown.
I'd go with castrandom for LB and CB and a seperate of FS.

I find that mobs go down so fast that flame shock isn't really viable until 75 (with lava burst). I'd go with:
/castsequence lightning bolt, chain lightning, lightning bolt
or
/castrandom lightning bolt, chain lightning, chain lightning, chain lightning
As for the instance, the only thing you have to worry about is gold. The rep you can gain is fairly useless when WotLK hits. I'd go with underbog up to and including the first boss (then exit, reset, repeat) which is nice xp and more importantly herbs, ore and shards (assuming you have your gathering professions up to date). When you reach level 66/67, go sethekk halls and stay there until 70, where you should be exalted with Lower city for a nice trinket and epic main hand spelldmg weapon :-)

wow you guys reply fast, i like it. well i did also have my water shield ( i think thats what its called) as the first cast here jsut to save space on my bar, i have my pally using the 1-5 keys and shaman have 5-= keys. and as you know with shaman, they need a lot of spells/macro space. so my cd isnt soo bad to make me wait for the cool down. but i am going to try the cast random. i do not know a lot about macros though, cast sequence is probably as far as i know or have been ( up until now) wanting to try. but for my judgement of wisdom is on 5 key and i have my LB and CL and FS on 5 for shamans this works rather well, and i have my mana totems out for all of my shaman so mana is almost never a factor in anything. also, should i cast kings on my shaman or cast BoW on them?
oh yah the cast that i really have is /castsequence watershield, CN, LB, FS and it starts over, but im going to take that out because its a waste.

Take a look at an addon called smartbuff (for buffing) and pallypower (also for buffing, but on the paladin) - that should resolve your buffing issues. You should _not_ have water shield in your dps rotation. Ever. But a hotkey for the buff trigger on a seperate key and get used to spamming it between combat.
Personally I just use
/castsequence lightning bolt, lightning bolt, chain lightning
With the new talents CL is only 3 sec cd and with only 3x elemental shamans I take pretty much all heroic elites down with 2-3 rounds.

I'd put LB and CL on two separate buttons. There are certainly times you don't want to use CL while killing in instances, even with a Pally tank.

I'd also 100% agree with the separation of CL and LB into two keys (or at least a modifier if you want a "lightning" key :)). I use "2" for my dps spam key and then "3" for shocks, modified "3" for CL personally (1 = paladin tanky spam key); this gives me a nice 1 2 3 button mash sequence which works well for me whilst rolling through instances etc.

Well i don't know your equip but you should run Blood Furnace until you got Diamond-Core Sledgehammer (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24384) from 1st Boss.
After that you could run Slave Pens / Underbog and at 64 Mana Tombs.
make sure you have Watershield and Flametongue Weapon on Shamans and Blessing of Sanctuary and Righteous Fury on Pally active.
I also seperate my LB and CL and my keys look like. My Pally is set as Focus for my Shamans.
Pally
1
/startattack
/castrandom Consecration, Hammer of Wrath, Avenging Wrath, Holy Shield, Righteous Defense
2
Seal of Wisdom
3
Hammer of Justice
4
Judgement of Wisdom (or Light depends on Melee Mobs)
Shamans
1
/cast [target=focustarget] Lightning Bolt
2
/cast [target=focustarget] Chain Lightning
3
/cast [target=focus] [target=focustargettarget] [target=focustarget] Chain Healing
4
/castsequence [target=focustarget] Earth Shock, Flame Shock, Frost Shock
i even run this setup on lvl70 an heroics!

I have a pallie and 4 shamans and in my opinion Ramparts, Blood Furnace and then Mana Tombs are the easiest way to 70. They are short, easy, there are many mobs to kill, there is a lot of green loot from the trash.
I tried the other instances and they were either too slow or too hard, and none offered the xp and items/hour ratio that the zones above did.
So I did 60-70 with 3 instances :)

I ran ramps until 64, then MT, then AC to 70. Personally I wish that I would have run SP in there considering how easy the pulls are. No major tricks.
