I'm currently running 5 paladins to use in PvP (daggerspine) but i'm running into a lot of problems. One single psychic scream or intimidating shout can knock me out completely. It's impossible to log all of my buttons to only hotkeys 1 to = (the first 12 on the toolbar) so I'm having to press shift + 2 to switch to another toolbar to use things like hammer of justice, which is very inconvienient. I'm also confused as to what spec to use and so on. Currently they're all holy. I'm playing in the 40-49 bracket.
Does anyone have advice?

My first toon (and my only level 70 atm) is a Paladin and is very dear to my heart so I say this with nothing but respect...but...
what...the...fuck man. 5 paladins for PvP?! 1 sucks enough. I applaud your efforts for doing something different and I can't wait to see how this turns out for you. The only thing i can think of is to go 1 holy 4 ret? Maybe 5 ret and off-spec heal when needed. I don't know. I guess you could go 5 holy and bore people to death lol.

You could also go 5 x shockadin build. That would probably be really interesting now that I think about it.

5 Pallys in PVE would be pretty awesome.
I’m not going to knock 5 pallys in PVP because it’s never been done; it’s nice to see someone thinking outside the box, no pun intended.
Right now to deal with fear I see a few options.
Al l Bubble
Grind for the trinket asap
If you’re not far along with your team just replacing 1 pally for a shaman would be nice.
I’m not sure of the build of your pallys and the range of shock or whatever. But often when I face something that AOE and/or fears I spread then out to avoid it.. That way they can’t fear them all, you can cleanse the rest off, or in my case dispel.
Hope that’s helpful.

me and a few guildies were considering doing 5 ret 5v5 just because it'd be such ridiculous burst, for giggles... But yeah, not sure if you could pull that off multiboxing... then again I guess pallies can kinda just Joust in PvP lol.

I've fought 3 ret paladins in 3v3 and 5 ret paladins in 5v5 they are insane.... got to kill one then bubble and heal... the team has the potential to stun som eone 10 times or stun each person twice it's crazy burst.

I've fought against a few of these all-paladin groups too, and while they have a lot of annoying tricks up their sleeves, in the end, they just weren't able to bring enough DPS to actually kill anyone. Eventually all their CDs are up and then they really don't have much else to go on.
I dunno, never done it myself, but I'd have to say, especially while boxing, it just doesn't seem like it would be that strong.
