Have you ever run an instance with 5 shamans before? Sounds like you're missing some basic tactics...

Yes, several normal ramps, slave pens... with outland greenies and it worked fine.

Rotating Thunderstorm to knock melee back giving you more time to shoot them

Here I might do wrong, i use thunderstorm on all 5 chars at the same time.

Dropping all of your totems (including stoneskin, etc) to absorb damage/boost DPS

1 Stoneskintotem, 4 stoneclaw, totem of wrath, 5 healing totems or 4 heal 1 mana, Grounding totem and 4 searing totems.

burning down the first melee mob first, before he even reaches you (should be cake unless you have like 500 spell damage - what spell damage DO you have anyway?)

The melee mobs in Nexus in the beginning, theres no way i cant burn them down before they reach me lol.I have around 500 spell damage.

Not using chain lightning and instead dropping 1-2 stoneclaw totems and firing on 1 mob at a time so the rest of the mobs attack your stoneclaw totems
You ARE wearing a shield on all 5 shamans, right? Right?? This is a requirement to run instances with 5 shamans

All shammies wear a shield.

Aside from that I don't know what the issue is...The only issue I had with 5 shamans in Utgarde Keep was the protodrakes which I still took down just fine, it was just a bit hairy.
Thx anyway for the info... ill try again when im level 74 or so.
