Shaman Soloing Advice?

[Khaedyn]

Hey all,

So i recently hit 35 on my barb shammy, and have been told that RM HG's are the way to go until 39ish when i can group in CoM. After getting all the way out there, I realize that my strategy needs some tuning.

My question is, which is the best method of soloing as a shaman at this level range? I find that kiting takes FOREVER, but Pet/Root rotting causes a lot of dead pets, and takes equally as long because the dots from 34 kinda suck.

any advice on how to become a better soloer would be greatly appreciated!
