Shaman Advice

[yraapt]

I am level 9 and I thought with the new spell line that my exp would start to flow, but it seems to be the contrary.

I am killing Aviaks (blue - yellow) in Lake Rath. Most of the time I have to med after each fight. I pull with tainted breath, slap on sicken, and cycle fleeting fury. Is there a better approach at this level? I get 1-2% per kill. At this rate I estimate 5-6 hours for level 9. Unless I gain some super ability, I'm afraid of what things will be like in the 20s.

Am I going about this wrong or is this par for a solo shaman?
