I did the test a few times in a duel. My ele shammy vs my prot pala using my normal spam buttons (both in quest greens / blue and at lvl 75+ where they have like all their abilities). While the fight takes long, the shaman just out dps's the tank. 2 and 3 shamans just kill him in a blaze. So imagine if 5 shamans encounter 5 tanks ... I can see some strategies to taunt, bubble, etc and make the fight last long, but the shammies will kill 1 tank faster than the tanks will take out 1 shaman. And once there, it's no match. Basically in pvp i don't care if i fire at a tank or another one. Instead of instant kill I'll have to push the button 3 or 4 times longer, while i still have thunderstorm left if he would reach me. (talking about all shamans taking out same target).
At least thats how i think about it based on some simple tests & some experience in BG's (using shamies as thats what i'm most familiar with).
