So, we run a mage/priest/warrior and have been having some troube with resto shammy/priest or pally/preist warrior teams.
The warrior will always aim our priest and the dhammy or priest will just spam dispell on our priest making his instants useless. Then, once he tries to heal he gets pummeled, shocked, stunned, feared.
So the first question any advice for the preist?
Secondly, what should we be aiming? We always aim priest and cc the other healer. Is this the right move?
Any help would be great! We are really trying to break the 2200 mark! Thank you so much for your help ahead of time, we really need it!!

Personally, I prefer going after a shammy before a priest. Shammies don't have as many ways to stay alive while moving or getting beat on, whereas a priest can do a hell of a lot to stay up while running around a pillar or out of LOS. Also, if you have the priest feared/sheeped, the shammy can't do anything about it. If you try using those CCs on the shammy though, the priest will dispel them.
With the warrior on your priest, once the other priest is CCed you can have your mage tag the warrior with a nova and it won't be dispelled. Obviously it's harder to keep the priest CCed with fears if they have ward, but it's still the best decision.
If the other team is war/priest/pal, it's not as straight-forward. 2 defensive dispellers makes it a lot trickier, you'll basically just have to choose one or the other as the situation changes. If you can get the pally to blow his bubble early, then you can focus him and CC the priest. This will probably be a harder and longer fight than the shaman flavor, but it's still winable.
I actually just go for the target without BoF. I keep the warrior hamstringed and demo shouted at all times. Period sheeps and novas while you focus on one of the healers forces the warrior to have to change targets to try and slow us down from killing their healer.
2DPS on 1 healer while one person is sheeped or novaed > 1 warrior DPS. I've lost to a pally shaman warrior team like once out of 40 or so matches. I've played as a warrior pally shaman as well and I pretty much lose to that strategy as well. If I ever get novaed at a time where my hamstring is about to wear off and the priest gets to go to a pillar unsnared, I cant stop it. If the mage is really good, you both can focus the warrior and make the two warriors fight it out while the mage free casts on the warrior. He will have to play a bit more defensive and healers will stress more and use bigger heals while you can gimp their warriors damage through shield spamming.

The best thing you can do is try to lure the warrior out of LoS or range of his healers, then kill him quickly. That, or just raw dps and bring that bitch down. That's the only way we can do it. Sometimes we go after one of the healers, get him low, then switch onto the warrior and pop him before he has a chance to switch to defensive and a shield. If you see Death Wish debuff, go after the warrior, you can easily kill him with that.
