I have been running around 1k needles for a lil bit doing all these quest, and am having problems taking on say 2-3 mobs that are lvl 25-26. I know I have decent armor, and know how to play the class to an extent, but I just feel soo weak.
my armory

I mean if I cant kill 3 mobs at once that are a few levels below me, then what am I going to do in the later levels?
Im a enh spec as of now, and my cast sequence is norm
the health totem before a fight
I pull with LB, then a frost shock to slow the mob I want to fight first. By this time the 1 or 2 other adds are by me but being distracted by the stoneclaw. Drop a magma totem so all three are getting hit ( I know a lil mana intense but with 60 dmg each tick all around I feel its worth it) by this time the first mob is at like 15% or dead, I norm finish him off with a frost shock so he doesnt run far, if at all. also If they are a caster I dont use frost shock but a rank 1 earth shock to kill their casting.
on to the second mob, sometimes i have to pop a Hp pot if needed, then my blood fury. the stone claw totem is dead by now so I throw down a stoneskin totem or a earthbind.
Im more than 1/2 dead by now, and having two mobs on me. now with enh fights can last 5 secs or 30 secs, this is all situational, but still like I said its only 3 mobs and are 2-3 lvls below me. Is there anything that I can do to improve my cast sequence/ build?
Also endgame, what will i be able bring to a group if I cant even take care of myself right now?

oooh i dont know, how about using a healing spell instead of chugging down pots and using mana intensive (yet worth wile) stuff , just kill, use shocks and heal (totems to be sued ofc but to defencive purposes) im not you, i cant tell you how to play, play the way you want , enjoy it , if you cant enjoy soemthing addapt to make iot more enjoyable or in this case rewarding.
(P.S sry im kinda ill atm and cant keep a straight train of thought also apologise for my typos if there are any, im sure you can figure out what i wrote though)

Endgame and leveling are two completely different things. Everything changes once you get into heroics and especially raids - class roles stay about the same, but the gear, the abilities used, the mobs you fight, the amount of strategy, everything is mixed around or increased by incredible amounts.

Being only level 29, you haven't yet had the full experience of the class. In fact, at level 63, I haven't yet fully experienced the class - although I do have some amount of experience (heh).
I'm resto and I can take ~4 mobs of one level lower than me; Earth Shield and Manat Tide and my Enamored Water Spirit Totem, and the occasional heal can keep me alive and dpsing at a decent rate. When I was enhancement at level 61, I could take down 3 level 59s or 60s with some level of difficulty, but it wasn't too hard.
If I were you, I would stay within your obvious limits for now, and get more time with the class; once you have DW and SS, and other higher-level abilities, the shaman class will really start to shine.

Ok, well the name of the game changed a whole lot since level 30- windfury rocks! Im not big on the math of timing and the cool downs of everything, but i loud getting back to back procs and critting as well! I cant wait to see how shamans can hold thier own and others. I am starting to duel other players in TM, and just seeing that alot of it is skill, and alot is chance. But i loud it non-the-less. Thank you for everyone getting back to my post. Sorry if this post is worded oddly, im on my phone.... work took my computer away. Hurray opera on phones!!
Afflic locks are a bit different. Chainfearing, pet tanking, and you didn't actually have 11 mobs on you at once (or if you did, they were probably quite a ways below your level/gear). DoT's also help. I didn't say it was impossible, but risky, and afflic locks are one of those few that can reliably take on large numbers of mobs without too much fear of dying.
Plus if your lock used netherweave bandages he is obviously not level 29 so your whole story is irrelevant anyway :-)

Your gear seems ok, you have the right combination of Str/Agi/Sta, your crit chance is ok. You need to try a different approach to unavoidable multiple pulls.
What about, pull one with LB, then drop stone claw. Kill the 1st mob with flame shock and melee. When stone claw dies and remaining 2 close on you try an earthbind, then back up & heal. Then drop your magma totem / stoneskin totem and try to slug it out with the other 2. Frost shock one and backing up will give you a bit more time to kill them individually.
It is hard to time correctly but it is possible.
Good luck.
