Tactics for Druid/Shamman Leveling - Please Help

[Gamblerr]

Hi. Brand new to duel-boxing, but far from new to the game. I have played a hunter and spriest to 70, but have always wanted a druid for PvP, specifically arenas. I am a min/max kind of guy, so I really have no intention of duel-boxing once I hit 70 with the druid/shaman.

Current tactics: I have my druid as my main, with my shaman as the alt. I think it is very obvious that I will be full feral for the entire leveling process. My main question is how to fit the shaman into the mix. I have toyed around with meleeing with the shaman, but that is hard for me to get positioning correct, and I think I am missing a bunch of dps.

I have one main question. Should I spec elemental and act as a pure dps alt, to burn through mobs faster, or is there another way to spec that will bring the most out of this grouping? It seems like there would be great synergy between an enhancement shaman and feral druid, but I have not been able to figure out how to get the most out of a melee alt.

I was thinking starting out my talent tree with the shaman like this:

to get the most out of the totems for the feral druid. After that I am kind of lost on how to get the most out of this group, strictly due to specing for the shaman.

Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ok I guess I will post this in the general forum where it might get some answers.

well, speaking as a 5 man shaman group. Elemental all the way. If you can do 2 why not go 3? But then again, if your going to do away with the shaman later, why not go enhancement? Make sure you get that Mana Trinket from the Sunken Temple when your able to go in. Your going to need more than your 2 players though ;-)

Leveling 2 prior to 2.3 used to be very inefficient, requiring a lot of boring grinding because the quests couldn't do it by themselves to level you. Now it is probably more plausible.

Anyways, I would almost certainly go Oomkin and Elemental. Using a melee stealther + ranged or a Melee Stealther + Melee will give you a headache.

I would not make the Shaman Resto, as Druids have little to no downtime solo. The only thing that is going to speed up the Druids killing is more DPS from another char. Cats don't benefit from totems as much as other melee classes, either.
