First thing i can tell you, you will save a lot of trouble by signing up as a group, that way you wont have to use the preform enabler, and will most often be the leader so you can put your characters in the same group.
Secondly, please see if you can get the framerate higher, as it is now it was too painful to watch.

Watched half the movie, and got tired of the FPS. Do some more pwnage and let us see a bit better FPS.

ok i tryed to get a higher frame rate and the quatily was so bad u couldnt see any thing. whats a good program to use and minimum pc reguiremens. or should i recoured it on my slave pc its brandnew

Just record on the PC with the best hardware.

Get locks instead of mages :P SL specced they can take a lot more damage then the mages. If you wanna stick to mages:

I asume your priest is deep Discipline to migate a lot of the incoming damage? If not, spec him disc. Use Power word shield on the slave that is getting attacked, mana shield on mages. Don't be affraid to split the mages / priest up. Blink with mages if needed, make sure you got 4 keys to move only the mages, so you can turn them after the blink. And polymorph. Polymorph. Polymorph.

Mages are very squishy and rely on talents and spells to avoid getting hit by melee. Your mages just stand still, try to cast a fireball and get spanked. First thing you want to do is polymorph anything that attacks you if it's just one. Whne you're sure you can cast a long spell, start with a fireball, if you think it might be better to unload some fast damage, just spam Scorch. You're better off with landing a few small attacks then failing to land one big attack. Don't forget that you got fear aswell on your priest, don't be affraid to use it.

Because you hardly move with your mages you can't kite enemies like a normal single player would. So you have to rely on pure nuke mainly. Try to nuke down warriors/retri pallies before they can really harm you. Expect the paladin to Bubble and start casting a Mass dispel when your sure the paladin will die if he won't bubble. This will take some work to time it, but should help. You can just burst down warriors, nuke through their bladestorm and if you have 3/4 mages use Prayer of healing instead of holy nova, start healing when you know damage will come. Predicting what is going to come is important with the current 'pvp' gear, since everyone still lack resilience your mages are dead if you start casting a heal after they got damage. It's no big deal if a heal overheals 100%, if you didn't cast it and a char died you got a bigger problem.

Besides all this: Just play. I have no idea if you're an experienced player and familar with PVP. If you're not, then it's normal you foock up, because you have to get used to it and know what you have to do before the combat actually starts. If you have to think about every spell you cast you're to slow and you die.

I went through exactly the same, i always started chain heals to late etc. But once you get the hang of it, it should get a lot better. When S5 hits and you can get Resilience it should get a lot easier to keep the mages up aswell.

If you manage to upload a vid on which we can actually see what happens i'll try to be a bit more specific I hope it helps, so far.

I'm 5 boxing on 1 machine and I can't trick fraps into working. I upchucks and crashes everything when I start recording. Granted it's a version I bought 2 years ago and I can't use that license with a new version :/ What are you recording with?

[blast3r]

If someone comes into melee range you should ice block them or whatever it is called and get away from them then focus fire on them. You can setup a castsequence for that. Also have a key mapping/button that can let you step backwards afterwards. that way you don't lose time trying to run with /follow and reposition. Just my thoughts.

i use fraps now but i only run one wow on this machine that i record with.
