You must be using Keyclone. Given that you mentioned one of your characters went on Autorun, I deduce that Keyclone was involved in it some how.

I've had this happen and I'm 100% hardware. Tends to creep up when someone is following and they try to cast a channeled spell, or sometimes, for no apparent reason, follow breaks but they keep running.

i feel for you i had a similar experience when i tried WSG at lvl 19 with 5 mages still in gray armor/wep's O.o ya it was that bad .. put me off doing any pvp at all for a long time ... but i recently started doing a few AV with my 5xmoonkin druids at lvl 60 went ok but each time i did AV i would tweak my setup a little here and there .. go with what works and now i find it loads of fun and drop alli's like they were made of butter :P defo dont let this experience put you off doing bg's i guess thats the trick to multiboxing in general ... find the problem .. and find a way to fix it ...

First time I pvp'd I did it with 3 lvl 29 hunters and it was a blast. When I got fear bombed I just did a 180 and disengaged my guys so they landed in a neat pile in the middle.

Oh and let's not forget cats. Lots and lots of cats lol.

It was annoying when one or two died though. Or worse, they rezzed in diff areas like in AB. It meant no matter where I was on the map, I had to go back to pick him up.

The twinks were brutal though. Lvl 29 guys with 6x the HP I had vs. my lvl 29 hunters in green and white gear heh. It took all 3 of my guys to kill one so I figure it was an even fight =p

You mentioned fear, solution: tremor totems, preferably staggered.

Elemental Mastery is no longer a guaranteed crit, so EM+thunderstorm will no longer oneshot everything, but is still pretty good.

There are quite a few boxing pvp movies in the Show-Off forum.
These can give you a good idea what others are doing.

Nothing will improve you more then pvping a lot.

As mentioned the gear makes it a whole lot better over time.

Back when I was 1-boxing, my raiding shaman was pathetic in new to 70 gear.
After a couple of weeks of way too many hours per day of AV's.. I think 16-18 hrs for 15 days...
I had no difficulty taking 3 or 4 players at once, by myself; not saying 1 toon did not still own me at times too.

But overall, as you gain experience and know which counter to use for each situation...
and combine that with crit protection via resilience along with higher ac and health...
You will win a lot of fights with ease, which today would be a complete lost cause.

It does get better with time.
