Unfortunately, your only option is to wait till they build up some threat. This was a major issue for all enhance shamans in BC. Dual WF triple crits led to giant amounts of spike threat and damage. Combine that with totems/Earth Shock/Flame Shock, and you can pull threat in raids. During BC, I was always standing around for the first few seconds before starting dps, the only ones that i could start right away was with Bears and that's because they are front loaded on their threat. You don't have windshear so you can't just whipe aggro yet. Your best bet is to run in drop your totems than begin your assault.
Have no fear once you get out of the Outlands, your threat will drop because you won't be scaling as well as the other classes do.

o_O @ bears having lots of front-loaded threat. That's always been Paladins in my experience.
Definitely wait a few seconds to dps, especially with random tanks.

Starting with Magma totem helps.
