The rogue has to wait on energy, the hunter doesn't have multishot up, the mage can't fireblast, and so on.

This is where that 2k health comes in. If you have 10k health you survive three times as long after the initial burst than if you have 8k health.
Well yes, when we fight teams with 2 dps classes or 5vs5 arena having enough hp to survive that initial burst is all that really matters and sometimes that 8K hp is too little. But really the amount of times we die to me not being fast enough on the healing vs spike dps are very few compared to the time I get cced in some fashion at the wrong time. NS fights off enemy burst very well. But all that is out the window if I can't NS. Still he's getting more hp.

I guess that is the final verdict tutonka and resto shamans are just weak with a hunter in 2 vs 2 vs. mage teams although I will try the arcane resist gear. We're hovering at a bit above 1800 rating and we don't respec or anything so I guess we can't expect much but I was hoping for some way to counter CC that I hadn't thought of.

i play with a priest in 2v2, we do pretty good but are not able to get much past 2k rating. hunter and shaman are both classes that dont exactly shine in 2v2. all i can say is stack to survive (resilience, stam) i have almost 12k unbufed hp in full pvp gear. i think your best bet is to out last teams.

your hunter needs to practice interupting at the correct time, and yu both need to practice LoS as a team. my priest likes to hide from mages so i need to alter my playstyle in order to stay competetive.

if your hunter wants to get ideas for gear and spec he can check my armory.
