Meanwhile the rogue is busy destroying our shaman (is there a rogue left in my BG without a pair of Warglaives?) and the priest is usually able to assist with it since we can't afford to let the mage get away for a moment. Short of us getting an instant gib through double WF procs + crits, I'm struggling to see how to counter it.

LoS the mage as best you can and train the hell out of the rogue. Ret/War with wf against a rogue in pve gear is like a cheatdeath proc inside of 5 seconds. If the rogue runs and disengages to live then do the same thing to the priest. If your paladin still has a cleanse or BoF key you should be able to avoid the shatter combo if you fail to los and the two of you should evaporate the elemental. The 50 odd matches of RRD I did so far this season came down to a stretch of about 30 where we decided to see if we could pull out a win vs War Ret Resto Shm- The overall consensus is no way in hell considering how bad some of my team mates gear is. You are fully capable of making a rogue run for his life while making sure no elemental lives long enough to do anything but waste a gcd. LoS the poor mage and just crush the people without iceblock until one goes down.
