Dinged 33 and now time for SM...advice needed

OK so my 5 shaman team are moving up in the world. They all hit 33 last night here is an armor link to my "main" Funkmaster
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...n&n=Funkmaster

Up to this point ive been dropping 4 healing and 1 mana stream and just nuking mobs down hard. I know my gear isnt exactly up to spec at the moment as i was just busy grinding out level (i could just make heaps of caster cloth for now) below are the questions I have

1) Repops - Sometimes if i wipe (it does happen) I zone back in and the entire zone has respawned? Also clearing trash to the Aracanist on west wing the trash is respawned roughly 6 minutes behind me is this normal?

2) DMG & Healing- Up till now i was good with healing stream x4 mana stream and nuke it down. I also have macros for x5 ground/stoneclaw. The issue is that the toon they focus down gets killed quite fast. Most of the time I live with 5/5 but there times that they destroy me.

I tried to use the below macro to "mouse over" healing but cant get it to work

/cast [harm, nodead] DPS SPELL
/cast [target=mousover, noharm, nodead] HEAL SPELL
/cast [target=mouseover, noharm, dead] REZ SPELL

Any ideas or tips?

SM library has a fast respawn timer for some odd reason. You'll always have some respawn if you clear it without a 70 mowing everything down.

Not sure what your problem is with killing them fast enough. Lightning, chain lightning, shock, melee, ect. Maybe drop some fire nova totems to help your dps out. Target monks first, they're the only ones who really hurt.

Work out your healing macros before you try another run. There are hundreds of ways to do them. Go check the macro forums for your answers there.

X 5 Ele Shams here, and yes they respawn quickly. I grind up to Doan, and back to the entrance. I lay down 4 heal and 1 Mana as well. I have one toon drop Earthbind for runners, 1 Drop Stoneskin, and x 5 Grounding when i'm pulling casters (adepts and such). I will drop X5 Searing totems after I gain aggro if the pull is too big. I try to aggro each mob and any adds to save my totems. Chain generally works well for this :D.

I use a macro I got from the wiki for healing. It heals my driver with two clones and the other two continue to cast, but they only dps if both healers are still alive. If healers are dead the dps clones will will heal the "party1". I have that macro keybound on all slaves. I also use healbot on all my toons so i can quickly cast a lesser heal on anyone that may need it. This allows the others continue to dps.

There may have been a more efficient way to get this done, but this worked for me.

At this level you still hit pretty hard with a 2hander and windfury even as an elemental spec. Try some corpsemakers or Loskey's walking sticks(not sure if that's the correct name) and windfury them down when they get up close and personal. Pre-chain lightning I was enhancement with corpsemakers and I tore that place apart.

I have not trained in any meele on any of my toons im afraid i just use spells to burst down and drink about every 5th pull or so. With the x3 xp im getting 1.7 levs a clear or SM lib so ill be past 36 this evening assuming i can get the healing down.

The easiest way to do healing when boxing multiple characters from what I've found in my limited experience is too simply bind every single one of your healers healing spells to a macro such as:

/assist Maincharacter
/cast Healing wave

Yeah its simple, yeah its not the best way to do it probably but it works. If you do this lets say your controlling one of your shamans as your main and you are taking damage. All you have to do is target yourself press your healing key and all your characters with this macro will heal your target.

If you have 3 or 4 shammies doing this, try lesser healing wave. Should be able to fully heal or get close to it, with less casting time.

I was just going to post about this insane respawn, but i searched before i did so...

i'm running into the same issues you are Oswyn, the healing stream totems aren't keeping up with the incoming damage (monks)... Time to figure out the healing thing.. I knew it would happen eventually
