My Shaman in Heroic gear (i'm not a PvPer) have about 7500/8000 HP. There is a 3-boxer mage on my server, horde side. He kills me all the time. 2 - 3 Arcane Explosions and my Shaman are dead. Even with Magma totem ticks, I'm sure you could get off 2 blasts, and with 5 mages, that would be enough to kill the Shaman.
Lets bump that up, lets say you have 10K HP cuz you are uber geared... Lets say that the mages are still uber geared enough to kill you in 3 AE's... thats 3300dmg per explosion... which will carry on that way up to 8 targets... and once spread out between the 32 targets thats under 1k dmg each... which means they'd have to survive for a lot longer...
