One problem. Opening with chain lightning, especially if it crits, WILL pull aggro. I've done hours of testing with this. If I just focus fire a target down (3x Lightning BoltsBs), the other mobs will keep beating on the tank. If I open with a chan lightning, I'll get at least one add on my shaman. This forces my tank to blow his taunt (15 sec cooldown!). Starting a little slower then ramping up is MUCH better than starting big and winding down... A lot of this came about from Botanica. Those "Stewards" mobs that can melee AoE your entire group down instantly if one gets away from the tank....

We also chain pull almost every instance (except Arcatraz... I hate that place!). Near-zero downtime. Maybe you work things differently in your group, but this is what works great for us.
Hey Fur, are you running with one of your shammies as the designated tank? Do you gear / spec him differently than the other 4? I've only done instances up to ZF so far and never bothered with it, just let the agro bounce around, healing where needed.
