I have spent the last 2 weeks farming honor to get the team at least descent gear (or what I think is). I get destroyed in 5s.
Is anyone playing 5s? I tried a few games with 2dk and 1 healer, seems to be the same result.

You've been multiboxing for years so I assume you know what you're doing. However, I'm confused why you think your comp would work for a multiboxer. You're missing the burst needed that makes multiboxing viable in arena and you're trying to heal yourself through traditional means. The successful arena teams have always been very burst heavy and either used a separate healer or relied on non traditional tactics (eg five chain heals at once). You may have success taking the three DKs into 3v3, but I think you 5 man comp is doomed.

And Holy Priests are the elemental shamans of healer pvp...

Priests are garbo
Dks are garbo in 5's if stacked.
Sorry :(
Try DK/Warrior/Feral/hpal/Rsham

I guess I just needed it reiterated to me to confirm. I may try shadow priest. I have little desire to level any of my other toons ATM.
thanks for the responses.

well after boxing in all 3 brackets extensively, I concluded its not us. It is the quality of oppositions that you are facing. Your opponents are not "oh I forgot to bubble before I die" type of players anymore. After many years of arena, people finally realized they have to utilize everything they have to win. So they perform better now, relatively speaking. Combined with all noobz who cannot win in arena stopped playing. The ones that are still playing arena all have some what of understanding about the game.
So if we play the same way we played in previous expansions, obviously we will win less.

And they have more things to utilise with. Before it used to be just a bubble every couple of mins, now you get a bubble, a stun, a snare, a def cd on a very short timer, potent self heals.
