Currently our basic strategy is rather crude: DPS the target most affected by it (Eg a Rogue with all my roots / slows or a lock, or else healer) until I can force a counterspell on the healer and then ensure the warrior is BOFd and I'm BOPd so I can DPS uninterrupted by melee for the duration of the counterspell.
Advice on basic strategy would be greatly appreciated.

I just started my 3v3 team last night with the exact same setup you are thinking off and are using near identical tactics, after having gained a lot of arena gear from our 5v5 team that hovered around 2000 rating, until we had a few bad weeks and plummted to around 1800.
In our first night we played until we got to 1815 points and decided to stop there and carry on the next evening. To decide our first target we weighed up who would be the easier to kill and who would be the biggest threat left alone, as well as who the opposing team would miss the most when killed. If they only had one healer we would often go for that first unless their dps would be detrimental left alone. This often meant nuking a shaman and priest quickly down. Against a team two healers we would usually sheep the magic dispeller and nuke down the other.
The one team we did have a problem with was a team with a very similar setup to ours. Their mage was elemental instead of full frost meaning he had greater burst dmg from a greater variety of instant casts. I think we were 2-4 against them by the end of the evening. I couldn't really decide what it would have been best to DPS first. We tried beating on the mage, making the paladin heal and then CS him, like you suggested above. Too often though our paladin was in deep trouble by then himself as they were operating a similar strategy.
