Have the paladin help out with some spam cleansing in between his damaging attacks so you can get off more poisons and snares. This shouldn't be a hard comp because you have ret aura and paladins can usually smash rogues with a good stun. Hex the Mage if you can help it, mages can de-curse other people. Maybe have your paladin repentance the mage so you can get the mage in a hex. Other than that I don't actually know much about your comp and its weaknesses against Mage/Rogue.

Repentance shares Hex's DR, don't use it on the target you want to Hex... You guys gotta learn the basics of the game before you try to help others.

You gotta know that Mage Rogue teams counter Shaman teams. It's not impossible to beat, but you gotta limit your mistakes.

I assume they are targetting you. That means you can't stay too close of your Paladin, or he'll get sap'd then they'll open on you. You don't want that, because Mage Rogue can kill you during the first stuns if you don't blow CD. Therefore, your paladin should be in your heals range, but not closer. If he gets sapped, the rogue will either blow Sprint or lose a few seconds. Don't forget Sap shares Polymorph's DR.

If your Paladin can't peel the rogue correctly, you will have to trinket Deep Freeze / Kidney Shot. Although it's not recommended and should be avoided if possible (because then you will be caught in a CC chain -> Blind, Sheep Sheep Sheep), your paladin should be able to survive with his defensive CDs (Bubble, Freedom).

You don't want to get Counterspelled on a cast. As a shaman, you are casting most of your heals and therefore you will have to learn how to fake cast. You gotta know when and how to do it. Counterspell CD is 24 seconds, and you have to know when it's up (Get an AddOn if you have trouble, such as Afflicted). If you get counterspell'd on a cast, you must tell your partner so he can blow defensive CDs or peel you. I assume you are using Ventrilo / TeamSpeak. Use it ;-)

Last thing, CC and shock when you have a chance. Wind Shock is off the GCD (That means it won't trigger the 1.5 sec delay between spells), and you should be able to use it on most of the casts. Usually, you should shock Polymorph before damage casts. However, sometimes you have to shock the Frostbolts (especially on Shatter combo).
When you have enough time and you know they won't kill you / your partner, use Hex. Remember mages can decurse Hex, however sometimes it can help to CC the rogue in some situations.

You should use Flametongue, Stoneskin, Cleansing and Grounding totems. As double DPS, they won't focus on killing your totems, however make sure Cleansing Totem is always up. Dispelling Wound Poison is very important.

Good luck ;-)
