Not once have I had blasphemy lands so easily on my past healers. -130 saves vs mals, and Covus has a hayday with me. I'm sure he still thinks about it from time to time, screaming at how impossible it was to land blasphemy on me. Then, finally, he landed it -- then I cured it. I know he was pissed then.
Blasphemy doesn't land easily. -80 vs mals isn't going to cut it. Get more, and trust me, you can get much more then -130 saves vs mal since Viri's change.
I've not fought a Shaman yet with my current char but against Evil Clerics, I often resist attempts at 'faith destruction' with about -50 mal. It still lands eventually though... 
I've found the best way to deal with blasphemy is to run to one of those ridiculously unknown places that people wouldn't expect anyone to run to, and rest/keep aware.

Tyorik, Why do I have to consider that? For the second time. I am not complaining about anything.
Raargant, for the second time, I don't have numbers. I don't have logs. I have exprience. I know what has happened to me. I've seen it happen to others.
Alright, in my experiences as a 50 elf paladin vs a shaman with mastered mals ( as they should be), I have been blasphemied easily everytime. I roughly get -50-60 mal saves and pump the rest into hit/dam for an elf paladin. -60 mals should hold the spell for a duration. I don't expect it to last forever, but I don't expect to be blasphemied the first or second time either. Once it lands, I have two options. Stay and fight and get maled up more. Or flee and do a charge flee tactic. Usually I do that latter, why? Because of obvious reasons. I'd rather hit and run than stand there and get maled to death. I can usually last for some time, even get away. But in the event that I do fight, I am beaten down by mals eventually and taken out. In the event that I flee and take off - I wait for the blasphemy to fall and go back at it. Usually the same thing happens and I am blasphemied, left with the two options once more. Its a never ending cycle until eventually someone messes up and one of us dies. A shaman can outlast a blasphemied paladin or cleric for that matter because they are blasphemied and cannot do much.
Again, each of us here has experience. My experience across many years of playing FL tells me your experience is the exception to the rule.
Who's 'experience' do we take?
That's why we need numbers and figures.
Just a note..ogres aren't weak to mages. They are weak to communers. The extra hp offsets the afflictive vuln.
Well....ogres are weak to mages in the sense that they get dispelled easily. But overall, yes, ogres should be more afraid of communers.
Try telling that to any ogre that just got pawned by an invoker.
