Depends on your preference and how the shammies are specced.

If 4 elemental, most of us would toss 4 synchronized lesser healing waves whenever the tank needs a big heal. LHW is a very fast heal and 4 of them will top off a tank nicely.

Alternatively, one shaman can be specced restoration and act as the sole healer. This is suggested for starting heroics.

Have your slaves /assist the tank, not your main/healer

i woudlnt be able to use /assistUser your focus command and have your healer set focus on the tank and just heal with focus macros.
