Woolly Mammoths

[daemionx]

23 Barbarian Shaman here - I've been working on my Totemic stuff slowly. I'm now trying to solo some mammoths but I'm having a lot of trouble - they seem to resist me constantly (I'm sticking to dark blue cons only).

Up till now, my strategy has been Malaise, Insidious Fever, Affliction, Root, Root, Affliction, Root, Root, ...

In practice, it's been something more like casting root 5 times before I get one that sticks/lasts long enough to med. Is there some better strategy I can use to down these guys? Do I just suck? I've been able to kill white/yellow cons for other pieces using this same strategy (they were very difficult...I imagined mammoths would be easier due to being blue). I've tried tanking a bit while trying to get spells to stick but they hit very hard. I can generally get them to about 50-60% before I'm OOM.
