This is your counter. A good Mage+Rogue is extremely difficult for SP+Rogue. Even a terrible Mage+Rogue is extremely difficult. I was playing some 2s not long ago, and then Mage would ride up, hop off with his pet pulled out, and I would Sap him before he did anything to my Priest. That's what you call terribad. He could have Ice Lanced but he didn't. Anyway, point is, even with this terrible Mage strategy, it was still a very close match. The Rogue immediately opened (again, terrible with a sapped partner), and we got on him. Remember to use Rupture, it's very important. The Rogue can't remove your Rupture and has no way to heal other than bandages. Just keep the pressure on him, while doing your CC on the Mage and you might win. Silence the Mage from the start, then Fear, Blind.
Your Priest needs to be good at running away during your stuns on the Rogue, and such. Your priest will probably want to pop out to heal pretty early so neither of you die.
If they focus you, just use your CoS wisely. Evasion immediately. If you can Vanish without getting popped out of stealth, just stay in Vanish as long as possible! Don't open with Cheap Shot unless you need to. Trust me, it completely messes them up, just allows your priest to continue dpsing while they can't do anything!.
This fight, again, is very situational, and so you have to think on your feet.
You may want to have your Priest dot and Vamp Embrace both of them, I honestly don't know which is better. It's probably situational. VE on the Mage can give extra crucial healing, but also breaks your CC for him. The fact that it breaks CC, though, isn't that big a deal, since he has trinket+double Ice Block anyway.
It's also possible to kill the Mage. You can quickly Sap him, have your Priest dispel him, and if you're lucky Sap the Rogue. You want to just get the Mage fully dotted so that he Ice Blocks. Rogues are much easier to CC than Frost Mages, so you can usually CC the Rogue pretty well. As soon as the block ends or is Mass Dispelled, blow everything you have to kill the Mage. If the Priest gets all his dots on the Mage, he can just pop out to heal, and you can finish the Mage off.
Tough fight.

| There's always a chance. I've killed this MU 1v2 before due to stupid mistakes. Never underestimate someone's ability to underestimate you once they think they've won. | |

| from my experience, it's a lot easier to just kill the rogue, let him open on your priest then immediately jump him with a cheap shot. I find it best to rupture him rather than KS because there is a chance he will trinket KS and there is no point in blinding him if you are going to focus. If he pops evasion, vanish>CS then go for a KS. | |

| this setup indeed is a very hard combo for shadowpriest / rogue.. me and my rogue we only beat it like 10 % of the time as playing 2100+ in s4. however when we meet them, our rogue goes for the mage, while i only dot, heal and kite. my rogue going on the mage meens he wont be able to get any shatter combos off. wich rly hurts. and my rogue is in t6 with warglaives. so he kinda kills mages fast when doing 2.2k hemo crits :P | |
