I am leveling up my 3 shaman, 1 pally, 1 druid group. Right now I have the Pally as tank, druid as heal and the shamans as Elemental.

I am thinking about changing things up spec wise. I love druid tanks I have one on alliance side and just enjoy playing the heck out of it.

I have thought about.....

Druid - Tank
Pally - Heal
3x Shaman - DPS

or

Pally - Tank
Druid - Moonkin
2x Shaman DPS
1x Shaman Heal

If you had a similar make up how would you spec them?

anything will work.. but the thing with druids is they are more spread out tanking buttons.. while paladins can have a one button "wtf spam best tanking ever" button.. druids have to click different things alot.. although its not as popular u might be able to druid tank.. ive thought about it just never got around to doing it yet.

whatever u reallly like doing is the best bet.. ur only going to get as far as how much you enjoy what you are doing.. so if u hate pali tanks.. then make him a healer and put ur druid tank in!

I would really not use a pally healer in a multiboxing setup. They don't have AOE healing and require a lot more attention than other healers do. You could always try the pally as ret with a shaman healer. I use a melee DPS and between Jamba for follow strobing and chain heal to deal with splash damage, it's really not bad at all. AoW procs, replenishment, ILotP sound really nice to me.

I absolutely love my Paladin tank, it is really great for multiboxing.
Same reason as has already been said in this thread, nice OMG WTF abilities.

That being said now with dual specs it is not going to cost you that much to experiment with different setups.

But for healing I would probably not chose the paladin.

Whatever is more fun, is the spec's you should go with.
Personally, I'd go pally tank, boomkin, resto-shaman healer and elemental shammies with that comp.
Resto brings Earth Shield and Chain Heal which makes healing a lot easier.
Boomkin adds a lot of dps with Earth and Moon.
With only a single Boomkin in the group, you could check out Fur's post on Balance Druid dps for a good boomkin dps boost.
