Team for PVP and PVE for Cata

[Jukio]

Hello

Now that I have my second 5 man team @80 level, I need to decide what team I will continue when Cata launches. Team needs to be useful in PVP and PVE (5 man instances). I have two potential teams for this:

Druid + 4*shaman:
Druid would be tank in instances and healer in PVP
3 shamans would be always elemental and 1 would swap between resto (PVE) and elemental (PVP)

Priest + Paladin + Shaman + Death Knight + Warrior
Priest would be healer and rest would be melee DPS in PVP. One of tank classes would tank in instances.

Shaman team would be obviously good choise. 4 same classes means easier setup. Shaman totems are awesome :). And shamans are well tested class in PVP and buffs they get for Cata only seems to be making them even better in PVP.

Problem is, that I have always played only ranged DPS teams when multiboxing, so I'd like to try melee team for a change.

So question here is: Does anyone have idea if mixed melee team could be functional in Cata for PVP purposes? I know that some people has PVP'd similar team successfully in WoTLK, but what comes to Cata, I haven't seen discussion about viability of this kind of team.

Both teams should work well enough in instances; they have tank and healer and 3 dps.


PS. This subject would have been more suited for group composition forum, but this being my first post I'm not allowed to post there. :)


Edit: Becaus this is my first post here, I might as well tell a bit about my WoW playing and multiboxing :)
I started WoW at final EU beta. I started Multiboxing about year and half back with three characters, and later started new team, and expanded my team to five characters.
I use HotKeyNet for boxing and I'm currently running all five WoW instances on single computer.

Also big thanks for all information in this site :). It has been awesome source for information about multi-boxing.

Warlocks seem to have the single strongest pet so thats kinda like a mellee team. Is that true is the Warlock Felguard the single strongest pet in the game?

Plus they have some pet they quest for that does aoe that I hear is very powerfull in pvp.

Im going mages though they look sick with basically a no cool down cast while running no manna scorch and that ice ring thing they get later and frost nova for in close enemies. It might not work with just 5 but 20 is going to one shot a lot of peoples, really fast, with the weak scorch spell.


I dont like mellee for boxing but with the IWT it does seem viable enough, and of couse plate classes will last a lot lot longer in battle then others. When you use multiple classes everything takes a LOT longer to set up.

I was on the Shaman bandwagon as they seem to do everything well but Im just not satisfied with their offensive abilitles compared to mage.
