Need some 1xPaladin 4xShaman help.

I'm still an ISBoxer baby and playing with three teams.
5 x hunter, 1 of each alliance type. Easy, powerful and boring.
3 x mage, 1 of each spec. Going to run into timing issues. I can see that coming.
1 Pal, 4 Sha. The team most recommended here to start with.

I just hit level 15 with the PalSha group and I cannot get comfortable. The shaman are easy but I'm having trouble working the paladin into a useful roll. I can see that at higher levels he would be important as the tank but the fighting method is so different I'm not sure how to make them mesh with one set of control keys. The two main areas I have problems with is pulling and close combat. Right now I pull with the shaman and then go to physical attacks when the mob gets close. Also, I'm not using macro's at this time. Is that the key to getting a pally into his rotation while the shaman keep casting? If so, may I see some examples of good macro's for the Pal and Shaman?

Use the pallys avengers shield ability to pull with, then start in with the shaman. You can have the shaman start in with the mobs on the way in, but the sooner you start building agro with the pally the better control of your group your going to have. I don't have much experience with macros so can't help ya there, but I'm sure someone will be along soon to give out some wisdom.
