Efficient healing with 4 elemental shaman?

[GizmoxLoW]

I run a paladin with 4 shamans and one is full resto. my key setup is if i spam E all 4 will cast lighting bolt. if i hold SHIFT and spam E 3 continue spamming lightinig bolt and the resto shaman uses this macro

/stopcasting [harm]
/cast [harm] tidal force
/target mypaldadin
/castsequence riptide, lesser healing wave, healing wave, healing wave

My resto shaman has the glyph that increases LHW when the target has earth shield and the flame shock glyph. only thing he really loses from the ele tree is the decrease in cast times and the lava burst buffs. since he benfits from elemental oath he still hits like a brick

My first group consists of 1 Protection Paladin and 4 Elemental Shaman, I currently farm several heroics, by farm meaning I do them without wipes (normally ).

I have only 3 healing keys:

Self heal
Chain heal (each one targeting a different too)
Tank heal*4

If I place 4 healing totems (which I usually don't) they'll also tick for around 1.5k.

I used to have a resto shaman but I now find this composition much more effective. I also think that you should only that at a comfortable point of your gear. Having massive dps also means that mobs will hit your tank for less time, bosses will use less special abilities, so it can allow going easier on heals.

On the other hand, my tank is now capped both avoidance and defense and my shaman crit at 6k+ lhw, so it makes things easier oc.

Tick for 1.5k??? Dear god what kind of spell damage do you have? 4 totems for me each do 220ish so thats 880 per tick? You have almost double the spell damage I do??

I can and will confirm these figures as soon as severs are up. But I'm almost sure that's what MSBT show with the 4 hits. I'm around 2.3k self buffed and totemized if I'm not mistaken. I'll confirm that too.

Ok so you're right the issue is that I don't know why but the addon is reporting [8 hits] per tick. It's around 1.6k so about same as yours. Don't know why it's doing that and not even how to solve issue :/
Mana is reporting correctly though.
Regarding spell bonus I'm yes over 2.3k self buff and totems.

Just ran into the same problem in the Underbog today,with my 4 Ele Sham/Dk team.
I came up with this quick and dirty fix.
I was using:-
/cast [target=focus] lesser healing wave (on 4 shammies-->DK tank)

I simply changed this to:-
/stopcasting

/cast [target=focus] healing wave (Round Robin)

I spam my FS,LB,LB,ect macro and just pump this healing macro every few seconds.
The only thing to watch out for is the 1 dead spot (tank) in the RR rotation,but if you hit it every few seconds you should be on perma heal through the fight with at least 3 of 4 shammies laying down DPS.
Another handy thing is to have HealBot Mod enabled on your Tank,if a heal is in process their name bar will be glowing stronger green.
Like I said quick and dirty fix cos im a lazy farmer.
Hope this helps

This by far has probably been the most useful one for me. The ones with just the /stopcasting, I have quite a few times has to mash the button due to lag/interruptions etc. And effectively you end up interrupting yourself. But with the [harm] it helps A LOT.
