I found variations of this to be quite deadly on Kaz'rogal trash waves though, particularly the three waves that include 6 abominations, and so was thinking of what the best alternative approach should be.

Ya, I started doing that, but eating it a coupla time to stun->wtfown->mobs running everywhere made me appreciate cc when first doing it. If you consecrate to start the priests can't shackle, but if you Holy Wrath, you'll have enough aggro to walk them back without a dot ticking. The one thing we noticed though, is that you'll want a tank (not you) to stand in front of the priests who should be off to one side of the entrance. That way when the mobs target the first thing they see, it'll be a tank, and they won't 2-shot your priests.
As you get better geared, having all 6 aboms wailing on you for a second or two won't be the end of the world, and it'll be nice to have everything clumped up in order to speed up the run. Starting out though, safe is certainly better than sorry. In my experience, a dead pally tank is nearly always a wipe.
