Slams are used very effectively by dolphins against sharks so often that many sharks will skedaddle the moment they notice cetaceans in the area.
Though I think they know to slam the sensitive gill slits equating to some kind of Targeted Attack skill.

Whales and sharks tossing/slamming comparatively tiny animals/objects might not work for OP's M.A.
