Druid + 4 Shammys

[IWestyI]

Well, i was going to box 5 shammys all by my self, but my cousin has a lvl 58 druid. Would it be wise to box 4 shammys up to that level then then box/instance with him to 70? Or would it be easyer with 5 shammys all being done by be?

On the flip side you'd have to depend on your cousin not only being online but also on him not being a fucking retard and knowing how to play ;p I'm too unpredictable and random in my play bursts to ever go with anyone(sometimes ZOMGQUESTQUESTQUESTCOMBOGOGOGO, others "eh let's sit in IF for a couple hours fucking around, or just randomly afk here in the middle of nowhere and bitch at people in IRC, or make fun of Wilbur, and still other times I suddenly get tired of playing and just head straight to an inn and log without another word)

If you work well with him and yer playing times are similar I'd go for it...less worry if he's watching your back, if not though I'd stick to yer own chars

Aye I considered suggesting both too but the drawback is that the char left out when the other person is around falls behind...and after lvling my 2nd druid to 34 only to add a third acct and have to do it all AGAIN to catch the third up, I do not recommend letting them fall behind. lol

great combo im enjoying it at the moment,
pros:
boomkin has 400% armor and can take hits just as good as any other tank,
moonkin aura is +2% more crit over totem of wrath
cons:
doesnt do as much damage as shamans, espessially in instances where CL is OP.
can be hard to tank if your shamans dont have elemental precision

boomkin has 400% armor and can take hits just as good as any other tank I tank Raid Trash :D (Though that may be because, at 1146+ spelldmg + 3% crit gem, the tanks can't quite keep aggro over my constant starfire crits =x)

So it would be faster to do 5 shammys?

if so then i will do that, then when me and him are level 70 i think we will do pvp together.

One more question. Atm im doing my shammys 1-10 one by one, would it be quicker to do them all at the same time?

[IWestyI]

And should i gear on shammy up for tanking? Well as best i can for tanking? Or just go max out on the dps?

Shaman will never really be too viable of a tank in Outland and beyond for special elites or instances, would take too much healing; yer better off keeping them all ele spec and learn to kite obscenely well, staggering your earthbind totems to keep 'em permaslowed like the other shamen do, letting earth eles tank when necessary
