Solar beam, is a ability your boomkin friend have, which silences you if you stand within in. Another game I saw you Chaosbolt into a AMS, which had been up for 3+ seconds.
You have to get some more knowledge of classes, and how they work. Apart from other feedback, which is CCing, and and using cooldowns with a more than 1 ember.
You seem to get that you have to knock people out of stealth and that it can stun.
You have to stop clicking your abilities. You have to stop using all your healing/defensives at once, and use them when needed. If you can see, yoru going to take big dmg, use your 50% dmg reduction. its also very great for being able to cast freely, without getting counterspelled.
Dark Bargain is great to negate big dmg too.
I would advice your boomkin going resto if you need to practice. It might take you longer, and might get you more losses, but you need some key elements of play before you can progress. Longer fights generates better results, in my opnion.
Also, you tunnelvision alot. You start running to the pillar, and don't even realise that the SP is heading for you and dotting you.
I know the portal is important, but if they charge you, you just have to put it at your ramp. Also if the team aren't engaging you, put your long distance portal up.
You obviously lack some knowledge of your class, and using focus macros etc will net you better results.
But bottom line is, that you know how you can use fears, defensive cooldowns and silences, so its not because you don't know your class.
Its because you know nothing about your surroundings, and how to engage their weakness and strengths.
