How do you guys handle shaman. I'm not sure the spec, all I know is that he mostly purges, earthshocks, and duel wields the pvp weapons me to death. I do see windfuy pop up but the fight is usually fast.

What can I do against them. If they try to chain lightining me they die but if they get in my face its hard to handle even with my decent gear. (btw currently not in pvp spec/gear in armory) But I have all merci minus pants)

Shamans are extremely susceptible to crowd control, because unlike a rogue with CLoS or a warrior with Deathwish, beyond their PvP trinket they are really lacking in ways to break CC.

Just have your pet drop his tremor totem and fear him between earthshocks, or have one of your arena teammates crowd control him somehow.

Or have you tried Curse of Exhaustion? If he's frost-shocked you to keep you in range it means that he can't earthshock you immediately after, giving you a chance to fear as soon as you see the frost shock pop up.

This is a pretty clueless and incoherent post. Ask on the WoW forums or do some research into basics before asking for input. The fact that you claim to have 4pc Merciless but don't know anything about shaman specs beyond "they try to chain lightining me they die but if they get in my face its hard to handle even with my decent gear" is saddening.
