Soloing Bear Pitts (Epic 54 sham)

[baue1446]

So Im about to hit 54 and want to try bear pits.

I know everyone suggests CoM but its very chaotic at times and it costs me 20pp every time I go up (shrink pot/wing). Not to mention filling up my bags with those things. Plus this is my 2nd toon and my first toon is a raider so I randomly have to ditch everything im doing and camp to engage a raid mob. Which just ends horribly in CoM usually.

But Ive been to bear pits before on Red server with my SK and generally like it. But Im now a sham and would love some advice one what to pull first? when to pull? how many dots do each need to die? How many to keep rooted at a time?

Do I use the same strat as CoM? Root/Malisment/epic dot? Can a 54 do well down there without the 56 root?

Someone with sham exp soloing down there would be super helpful!

Thank you
