Only PC I've lost a fight to who isn't ?? was a prot pally (who had a priest friend who I just killed) 6 levels higher than me. Why? Cause I was stupid and didn't drop the right totems, didn't have the mana, and was *turning* too slowly.
Oh yeah, 4 elemental shaman.
Any tricks? I wish there was a macro which had my slaves FACE the same direction as my main. Currently, I've set turn-right and turn-left up on my mouse.
Thanks.

Bind a key to Interact Target. You can hit your "spread" key, tap interact to face the target, then go to town. He'll only be "behind" one of your guys that way.

Earthbind and TS work wonders against toons trying to run circles around you. ;)

I found using earthbind most usefull for the slow effect(not so much for the brab) But i am a fan of using imp firenova totems on roundrobin, gives me some nice chain stun abilitis if u plant em in the right order

I have Earthbind, Thunderstorm and Fire Nova on round robin.
Well Fire Elementals too, but they're not a control option.
I believe my macro's look something very similar to this:
/cast [mod] Thunderstorm
/castsequence [nomod] reset=15 Thunderstorm,,,
/cast [mod] Thunderstorm
/castsequence [nomod] reset=15 ,Thunderstorm,,
Thunderstorm is used to push them away.
Or sometimes to blow up something almost dead.
Earthbind Totem will root (if talented) for a few seconds.
It then snares as until its destroyed or expires.
Fire Nova will stun (if talented) for a couple of seconds.
That should be all the time you need to turn and blast something.

Great replies all. Only 61, so I don't have Thunderstorm just yet. As for Earthbind, should I roundrobin that too?

Yea it roots when it is dropped, so its nice to have 4 roots available.
