What's the counter? One Manning 4/5 Shammies

[Kyudo]

Having played a bucketload of AV this weekend, I've run into some skilled players of all classes. Running with 4 shammies as I do for PvP nothing scares me, but skilled players of certain classes can be an annoyance. I dont want to give away trade secrets, but I thought it would be interesting to see what people thought were the best counters and what has worked against you, and for a laugh the worst. The most pesky classes I've found are well played Druids, rogues and well geared holy/disc priests. I'll get the ball rolling with a few:

Paladin
Holy:
- Clever: Mash head against keyboard as all my lovely buffs dissapear, as well as 70% of health, bubble, HoJ lead shammy, run and try to find someone to heal, maybe they'll pick on that person instead of me.
- Dumb: Run into the group, consecrate, Holy Shock (eaten by totems). Die I even have the chance to bubble.
Ret:
- Clever: Repentence on lead, run.
- Dumb: Pop avenging wrath, die.
Prot:
- Clever: Avenger's shield the group, blessing of freedom, run.
- Dumb: See holy.

Warrior:
Arms:
- Clever: The tremor totem is your #1 target, not the group. Take it out, fear, try to take the lead down.
- Dumb: Dismount, charge the whole group standing in their totem farm, blow up dead.
Fury:
- Clever: Take out the tremor/s, piercing howl, intervene to friendly player, run.
- Dumb: See arms.
Prot:
- Clever: Time a spell reflect to co-incide with a chain lightning volley.
- Dumb: See arms.

I was talking from the paladin perspective.

i think its sooo fucking funny how you see a priest run at you from 50 yards away, and you know whats going to happen.
How dumb do they think you are, without a shield they charge, most of the time you frag them before they hit you. if they get the fear off and tremor breaks that second, they get killed before they can get 10 yards awya.

I cant think of one class thats any problem

I hate rogues that get the jump on me.

What about melee getting behind the shaman? Not sure how anyone else does it, but when some rogue or warrior keeps jumping in a circle around me, I can't really do anything. I can't turn fast enough to counter this tactic using the keyboard, and the mouse turning only works for my main.

I am a mouse turner, but a friend of mine is very good at PVP with a warrior even though he is a keyboard turner (I think they are 1 down for mouth breathers ;) )

his tic tac is to rotate the same way as the encircling player and reverse away from them... it works... try it, basically it doubles the distance the encircling player has to run.

If hit by a rogue... walk backwards through him... amazing now many fall for this one :(

[Kyudo]

For me on rogues:
- Clever: Distract then sap while the shammies are mounted, giggle as all the others come back to retireve the incapactiated one. Wait a few seconds, then do the same again. When in combat, blind one of the shammies to reduce the number vs. Save cloak of skills till the last minute, then vanish, run away, bandage up, rinse and repeat. (I've got better at dealing with this recently, but in the early days a good rogue could keep my whole group busy for 3 or 4 minutes).
- Dumb: Attack the lead when all shammies are in the middle of a totem farm and in formation. Waste cloak of lolz too early, keep attacking the main despite heals from the other 3/4. Ignore the fact that 3 or 4 of your allies are dying to CL or LBs. Once all the enemies are down, shock then LB and die miserably.
