You could have DA held it and just capped out. Given a more optimized group setup, you could have held and recovered. This isn't just theory. I've done it with more dangerous mobs on melees using a DA idol. I've done it on a cleric. I've done it on a necromancer. I haven't done it on a shaman, but earring of the frozen skull is almost free to recharge and easier to use than a casted DA.
You don't HAVE to make clutch plays and save the day, but it's cool to do so, and it shows presence of mind. A DA earring recharges for less than a plat. You get 18 seconds to stop, look around, and figure out a plan--or to let your teammates gate out.
Instead, you all probably just panicked, froze up, and let the train kill you because that's what is 'supposed to happen' when 'bad pathing' occurs. Because you are playing P99 on what is essentially a very basic level.
