the runas_alias, is the users list that you allow the user to "run as" with the "-u username" option of sudo, it doesn't affect the user list that you want to allow as parameter of the "su -"
you have probably not understand the sudo tool : you don't need to cascade "su -" in sudo because sudo's job is to perform the "SetUser".

if you use this config line :
%wms ALL = (DA) ALL
then you allow all users of the "wms" group to run as any user of the "DA" RunAS_Alias via the "sudo -u username ....."
