Maybe this has already been answered, but why are you only using AoE abilities with your shaman? Until you get to around 60 (ele thunder aoe), Shaman AoE + consecrate dps will never be enough to kill anything except for non-elite equal level creatures. Are you casting lightning bolts inbetween the AoE's? I know that you like to only use one button, but wouldn't it be easier to just set something like this up:Well this is what I use on all 4 shaman:
/castrandom Fire Nova Totem, Healing Wave, Fire Nova Totem, Stoneclaw Totem, Fire Nova Totem,
Button 1 - Lightning Bolt
Button 2 - <fire based totem> (you could use fire nova here, when it is available)
Button 3 - <water based totem>
Button 4 - <earth based totem>
Button 5 - Heal
Have your paladin pull the mobs onto him, and setup your macros so that you can basically assist the paladin... then you shouldn't have too many problems. I think if you're going to only AoE your way up to 60 via instances, you're going to be in for a much harder battle than you should have to deal with. If you were running a group of mages, I might give some different advice, but shaman AoE (pre-60, and arguably altogether) is a weak link atm.
