Hello all. I'm currently 3 boxing pally shockadins. And im having a blast doing so. Only problem I'm finding is the dps is kinda low. My survival is great in bgs so im able to dish out some dps and still able to heal myself through some tough battles however the dps is lacking.
I know about ret pally and the dps they can output but for me a little harder to 3 box melee classes. Does anyone know if ret boxing ez to control and handle?
Lastly, does anyone know if 3 prot pally would be better dps output. I know about the instant shield attack, is there any other benefits from this group vs shockadins?
Not sure I want to do one of each spec for multi boxing.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I've got five Shockadins.
Haven't tried pvp yet, just gradually leveling them up.
For a while there, really liked them and was playing them a lot.
Got to the late 50's, with the intention of PvP in the 70-74 bracket (ideally as 72's).
But then the DK's decided it was their turn.
As far as rotations go, I was basically using...
- Judgement once for the Haste.
- Holy Shock, every cooldown.
- Exorcism, as the main spell.
Everything is Holy, which subjects you to spell lockout.
Except for Aura Mastery, with Concentration Aura.
Or bubble.
The plan was large scale battlegrounds.
With both support healing and some DPS.
Not sure how the DPS would be with three instead of five.
If you want to run them as Retribution.
You need to deal with the Click to Move + Interact With Target.
Word of Glory is going to be placed on a fairly long reuse cooldown, for all specs except Holy.
So healing and keeping the team alive might be an issue.

Pretty much what Ualaa says. Exorcism is great for leveling and dailies, but falls short for dps, pvp or pve. Versus an 85 target with 3.5k resilience, you will do about 2k dps, including Holy Shock. You mostly can spike down single targets using HoJ/AW but versus two opponents is a stalemate at best.
They will work fairly decent if you follow a raid around healing. 5x Cleanse can do wonders for classes that rely on mobility to keep their dps up. It is also a lot of fun to watch people try to re-apply dots you remove and just end up wasting time. I still have a long way to go gear-wise and skill-wise (im sure KJ-Alliance can attest) but it can definitely be a novelty composition and a break from what typical boxers are doing these days.

You'd have very incredible mana efficiency, if you were to round-robin a lot of your spells.
The first click is Toon A.
The second click is Toon B.
The third click is Toon C.
You can spam click, for multiple effects removed/heals delivered, and with several toons not be restricted to the GCD.
Also have some keys for everyone does whatever, for the big heal or mass cleansing.
