Pally ranged Threat

I am a noob to shaman, would it make sense in a 1 pally, 4 shaman setup (the setup I plan to do) to have the Pally pre-consecrate and have 1 shaman do a Purge, or something light on the aggro, just to give an initial pull? The consecrate should provide enough aggro to pull the non-Purged mobs and the Purged one can be meleed by the paladin to get him off the Shaman.

Or is there another Shaman "aggro" that is less...."aggro" than something like Purge?

I run Pal/Priestx4 and when i got one out of concecrate range i just silence. Have you tried just shocking the caster to get them inline?

Shocks are very short range. Lightning bolt rank 1 would work. Paladin taunt is on a longer cooldown than warrior/druid.

IMO, making cheap dynamite out of cheap lowbie mats is more than plenty for range pulling pre-Avenger's Shield. Once you hit 50, you can drop your un-leveled engineering and pick up something else if you so choose.
