When can 5 shamans do equal level instances?

[marvein]

I cleared Deadmines at 20. If you're having trouble, kite.

How exactly do you "kite" with 5x Shaman? (or 4x..3x..2x...). As a former hunter, the kiting principle is simple enough (slow enemy, run, jumpshot, wash, rinse, repeat....). With a single Shaman, I can frostshock kite alright, but what do you do with the other 4? Earthbind totems and fire totems? Seems like it would take an awefully long time.

I should probably make a video of it. It requires perfect execution, but is very possible. Aebox's video will give you a general idea...but he isn't very good at it(at least not in the video): http://youtube.com/watch?v=cVOlj4Th2-w&feature=user

Basically, drop an earthbind; cast lightningbolt and chain lightning back to back; run away and drop 5 nova totems; when you've got some distance cast a chain and drop more totems; continue to drop 1 or 2 earthbinds as your run backwards and stop to cast chain lightning.

that particular video isnt a great example of it, his first 2 SP heroics he does a much better job at it. hunter kitingx5 is quite similar in theory to that, just got to keep into account fewer ways to slow the mobs (trap+cuncussive Vs 2 totems and frost shock) and if they get in melee range you have a problem.
