I have a recent, albeit anecdotal example to support your findings Tecmos:
I was grouped in BW at the giant fort as a 40 druid-- many/most of the giants were yellow and red cons. I was definitely under-leveled but wanted to play the druid.
I was grouped with a 45 shaman and a bard. When the shaman cast Malaise, I was seemingly landing 80% or more of my spells on said yellow/red cons. Conversely, when I tried to cast (for instance, acting as the puller) without any Malaise, I was getting resisted a majority of the time.
This become apparent-enough that we basically had the Shaman "pull" with Malaise-- this allowed my druid to be useful for the ensuing battle (provided Malaise landed). Snares, roots, and dots etc
