4 + 1 teams

[Trick]

So lately I've been running 3x Holy Paladins as DPS while my son runs his Prot Pally to tank. Been working out pretty well, but I'm thinking of reactivating my dormant 4th account at some time and putting together a full team to run with him, including possibly some Arena.

He's gearing for both tanking and healing, so I need to consider a team to support each of his specs, or a single team which could use their dual spec to alternate roles with him.

I see a lot of talk recently about 4 DK + 1 Pally. Would that be a good option for the times where he plays Holy?

If he's happy to heal the team, four DK's can put out a lot of pressure.
And they have a lot of immunity toys, plus death grip.

The healer is focused quite often.
But if you're not next to him, you can death grip them away.
Plus having someone else play the healer will improve the team a lot.
And pallies have bubble, plus strong cooldowns.

Could work out fairly well.

Plus if you don't have DK's, they start at 55th which is a lot better than 1st.

Excellent choice... i've benched my pally from my 5v5 team and have a pally friend playing as the healer and i've gone leaps and bounds better than my previous weeks games. 4 druid would be fun too imo :)
