I'd love to see what you guys are doing because I must be doing something wrong.

All of my shamans have 4 piece relentless (bracers, belt, boots, ring) and furious everything else except for bracers. My main has the furious elemental weapon/shield and the rest have the spectral kris out of 5 man H-TOC along with a shield I've never been able to find a replacement for (blue).

965 resil on the main, 855 resil on the clones and we can't seem to get past 1550 rating.

Now, part of that at least I suspect is my battleground - when we queue we only seem to get 1300 rated teams that we beat up on or get 2k+ rated plus teams that cleave their way to victory.

It could also be my healer? I have three resto druids -- one is very consistant and good but seems to die easily -- the other is better but has been AWOL for 2-3 weeks (our first matches we went 6-0) -- the third is the best I've seen but also very rarely on - when we started beating those said 2k+ teams I started to see what was possible with a really good healer

I also suspect its my tactics -- right now my first instict is to blow up the first person that charges in -- sometimes this works but usually its a bait, or I'll kill someone but they're not a high threat to me.

Warriors are the #1 threat, but they simply charge in and blade storm - I'm wondering if I should flame shock them ASAP and then spend a few seconds purging them and then blowing them up, because if the warrior is dead the cleave team becomes much easier.
