Shakerpaging is using the warrior Rampage AA to perform one melee swing on every mob in a short AE range while using the Earthshaker weapon. With 70 delay, and a shaman duel slow on you, you proc on like 30% of these swings so if you pull a large enough train you're instantly proccing a 250 DMG PBAE about 100 times and instantly killing 200 mobs.
It was nerfed around 2006-7 on live by making procs only fire on your target.
Pit Warring was exploiting mobs with different factions and 55+ mob code. Basically in PoTactics there are two different faction sets of mobs. What you would do is charm one of the necro wraiths and have it attack a Zek mob on the other faction table. Let it cast 1 DoT and then FD or zone. This will cause the mobs to fight each other and any mobs coming nearby to assist their specific faction.
The code during PoP for level 55+ mobs required that regardless of how the mob died, it would create a corpse and award EXP to the player closest to it, even if that player did no damage (this was their fix to raid mobs poofing cause necromancer DoTs or pets from FD players).
So after setting up the war you really didn't have to interact with it much, just hang around and collect EXP. occasionally you'd want to train more mobs into the fight to even things out. This exploit got people banned though obviously as it was a clear bug.
