My setup - 4x ele + 1x holy pal
Their setup - 2x hunter 1x warr 1x resto sham 1x resto druid
I throw totems and pop a BL because they kept rushing me, they rush me, games over.
I cant take down any of their characters because the warr fears and tremor doesnt tick fast enough(i have 4 down because i was getting so annoyed, staggered for more ticks) and one of my chars is isntantly dead. at this point i just give up because its just a huge spiral downwards after. Any ideas wtf to do against a team like this? I just lost 60 something points to them and its really annoying. Thanks for any help
Their 1st game strat was just LOS me and have the hunter peek around the corner and multi shot me over and over and over, then all 5 just bum rushed me and its over. Once a team realizes all they have to do is rush me to win the game, they just keep doing it.

In Nagrand if I'm rushed, my healer and I pull back to the start where totems are, in blade's edge it's a mass rush to get totems down, bloodlust, and chain heal till I can take the upper hand, lord is pretty anti rush.
If they're rushing, w/ bloodlust up, you should be able to get an LB, NS/EM/CL, + Shocks (if necessary) off on the warrior and down him fast. During a rush, this'll be the only time I use em/cl on a non-purged target, but in a rush the disorganization of it on their healers generally prevent getting a heal and then immediately start on a hunter, then it's just picking off the rest. And since they're all dying at your feet, it's really easy to stop rezzes (and they only have 1 rezz available).
If the initial attack doesn't kill the warrior, then he's generally in an "OH SHIT" situation and pulling back, which gives your healer time to heal.
This is all dependent on gear too, if they seriously outgear you then it's going to be a lot harder, but I've taken out some decent teams who think rushing me in a good idea. Mind you, my healer is a holy priest, and circle of healing is goodly against multishot.

Attempt to take out the Warrior on the Rush. Bloodlust+Lightning Bolt+Chain Lightning+Earth Shock should finish him off. If by chance it doesnt, PURGE PURGE PURGE. After you have debuffed him heal up and find your next target. Purge away again. Realize that against two healers you really need to change targets a lot if your not using focus. The healer just keep your main targetted and find out where the DPS is going and front load it. Purging a target allows you to soften them up, lower they're DPS, and make the healers anticipate damage your not going to give. Then switch targets real quick and drop em. If they get heals go back to the purged target = gg.
Also if you dont get the Warrior down on the Rush, make sure you pallie is dropping BoP on your main. This will void a huge amount of dmg the warriors and hunters are dropping on him. In that time though, you have to drop a DPS target. Me and my pally call it the double bubble win. He bubbles me, Bubbles for the heals...and hopefully we've killed 2 or 3 before the bubble pops. Works great.

I blow up warriors regularly with a very fast combo of:
Bloodlust
4xPurge
LB Volley (or two if first one doesn't take them that far down)
4xEM+NS+CL Boom
(rarely followup with 4xEarth Shock, generally not needed if I have gauged it right)
If you DO NOT kill them or get them into 4xEM+NS+CL kill range, I switch targets so that the healers are then chasing my DPS around.
Warriors are one of my favorite first targets. Absolutely make sure that the purge happens first (while they're charging, generally) and that you have Bloodlust going before trying to DPS...

Ignore the warrior and bait out the hunters, they are your main targets. If you try to blow up the warrior in this scenario and fail he will be at 100 rage and destroy you, simply ignoring him gives him 0 rage to work with making him do considerably less damage.

Yeah, gotta admit hunters are my #1 favorite first targets...
I farmed a 5x Hunter team the other day-- felt like we were dreaming.
