To answer OP's other questions, your best bet for s3 Hpala succes is 100% in 5v5.
In 3s I had fun on rsham with warrior/lock or with hunter/feral.
In 3s with pala you can play Hpala/retri/war if you want to cleave. It's cheese but clothies just die with a freedom warrior and a retri on them with double defensive dispell. This is surprisingly annoying to deal with even for a heavy cc team like RMP.
Getting sheeps with sacrifice/dispell/reflect is a pain in the ***. By the time you have some winters chill on sheep targets it gets a lot easier, but a lot rides on the mage.
