Question about Group setup with DK

[Skysarmy]

I currently got my DK to 60 and am running a hunter,2x lock, and shaman to level him up. What I am wondeing is could a DK tank and 4x lock be visable for PVE and PVP? would the DK be unholy\frost for the 13% added damage? would a 5x DK team be better? I am looking to be able to do PVE and PVP, however I am cautious about doing a 5x dk team, because it would seem hard to get every in posision all the time, especially in PVP. i know there can be some death grip rotation, but still if my guys get spread out, im in trouble?



Anyone running a DK and 4x locks? for PVP go demo, and PVE affliction?



any advice?

Well if you wanted to do instances you'd definately need a healer in there. I don't PVP much so I dunno, but 4x demo locks plus a DK smacking people around would definately get people's attention.

Might sub a priest in there for one 'lock.

Since you can dual spec, you can go Shadow/Holy and do Shadow for PvP and Holy for PvE.

Well I have a 60 priest as well, but I see everyone running a DK and 4x shaman? nobody runs a DK + Locks? I understand I will need a heal to do instances especailly heroics, but would a shaman or priest be better? assuming I want to use 3x locks instead of shamans? would the priest be pure holy spec?

Simpler = better
Running dk,3 locks/priest requires more micro management than 4 shamans/dk.

I'll have to disagree with yeh there about dk and 3 lock taking more to micro manage then dk + 4 shamans its about the same
shamans micro managing is more "front loaded" yeh stop and drop the forest -vs-
warlock whose pets yeh can macro it so it auto attacks yer current target and have another macro to put pet on passive. if yeh loose a pet its not that big of a deal.

for a dk/3Xwarlock group I would pick priest for the aoe heal that way yeh could lifetap then Circle of Healing and have every one at full
druid healer wouldn't be bad either
