PvE setup for 2x5 Boxers

[Selz]

Hey guys

Ive been talking with a boxer from my server about doing pve together 10mans
so we discussed a class setup, this is basically the idea

Boxer 1
1x Pala maintank
1x Pala maintank healer
1x Priest Holy
1x Priest Holy
1x Elemental shaman (for bloodlust) which will proberly be swtiched in cataclysm

Boxer 2
1x Pala Offtank
1x Warlock destrucktion
1x Priest shadow
1x Druid boomkin
1x Mage Arcane

The group-setup would be

Group 1
Pala MT
Pala MT healer
Priest Randomhealer
Warlock
Elemental shaman

Group2
Pala Offtank
Priest Randomhealer
Shadowpriest
Boomkin
Arcane mage

Which means we have a randomhealer in each group for prayer heals, but they are still controled by the boxer groups as i posted first

Any ideas how we could enhance the setup ? im open to any suggestions
thx

I think just two healers would be better. And switch the third healer to dps. Sometimes depends on content you might not need 2x tanks so a tank that could switch gear to melee dps might be good also or even a healer as desired as you both have pallies I dont know if you have duel spec on your tanks. Just an idea.

One option is to try your third healer as disc and have him do dps until boss fights. Another possibility is to dual spec one and switch to healing if needs be. I have had less luck with priests and almost no luck with paladin group healing, in boxing situations. I use a resto shaman and resto druid. The AoE healing makes it pretty easy. I think dps will with a problem with this setup.

I switched my druid to resto because I was struggling to manage eclipse procs while 10 boxing :/ I'm only doing 5 but I love the heals and generally run his resto still.

My concerns about the resto shaman is that chainheal has a limited range, actually the shortest in game, theirfor i was thinking Prayer from the preist would be better, resto druid could work, but they also have very limited range on aoe heals

But ill have shamans already so its no problem trying to replace a priest for a sham.

Since i already have 4 well geared pve shamans i could use them and then have a lock in the other group for curse of elements or such, I really dont know what to go with :P

I saw Theradin go with 4x ele on his Lady Deathwhisper encounter.

But i was more thinking of useing different classes for great buffs and high dps

elemental shamans dosnt really have the highest dps ingame, fine but not the best :p
