Basically I had two shamans heal using rank 4 or 5 of lesser healing wave while the rest dps'd.
Thanks Pent (as well as everyone else) for your suggestions. It's funny how a subtle change in macro strategy made all the difference. My standard "heavy hitting" boss macro setup was with 4 shaman casting lightning bolt and the 5th casting healing wave (all elemental spec). Just spamming that macro, my healer would often overheal and go oom when Quag was at about 30-40%. Alternatively, I found that if I wasn't spamming the macro my primary shaman would get hit with unlucky crits and/or crushing blows and would die before a heal could be cast.

My change, instead of one shammy healing with healing wave, I had 2 heal with Lesser Healing Wave. The shorter cast time allowed me to only cast it when needed (it got in before the crushing blows killed me), and the low mana costs allowed me to survive the fight with my healers ending at about 30% mana.

Thanks!!
