The consecrate should provide enough aggro to pull the non-Purged mobs and the Purged one can be meleed by the paladin to get him off the Shaman.

Or is there another Shaman "aggro" that is less...."aggro" than something like Purge?
Shocks are very short range. Lightning bolt rank 1 would work. Paladin taunt is on a longer cooldown than warrior/druid.

IMO, making cheap dynamite out of cheap lowbie mats is more than plenty for range pulling pre-Avenger's Shield. Once you hit 50, you can drop your un-leveled engineering and pick up something else if you so choose.
