First try at UK

FInally got my 4x Shamies up to 69 and headed to UK with my 70 prot pally(w/epic healing gear). Man, it was not pretty....after wiping a couple of times and trying to figure out the healing situation, I called it quits. I just couldnt handle the 4 mobs at the table near Prince. I found that the majority of the time...I was just trying to keep the pally up...and therefore hardly doing any damage. All shammies are Elemental....I tried the 1 healer approach.....then 2 healer/dps - 2 dps.......then basicly all healing/dps. Pally easily was keeping aggro...but problem was that I was just taking too much damage...therefore having to spam heals almost 50% of the time.

Anyone else around the same lvl have success in UK? And how is your team setup?

I'd say wait a few levels and gather the first greens/blues in the start areas, then you'll be a little better prepared .. and shouldn't have any troubles :)

Yes another level or two will help - but is the pally specced holy? Respec pally prot and get some tanking gear (Cobalt tanking set at 70 is freakin' awesome for all 3 plate tanking classes from what i hear - its pretty much all str/stam/def which are the primary tanking stats now). Then you should be able to own the instance. I finished it at 70x5 with a DK/4 shamans with mediocre gear - with the cobalt set on my DK he was hardly taking any damage on trash :)

With my 5 ele shamans at lvl 70 with a couple epics i got before the expansion came out, i cleared UK except for the last boss.

The trick to killing that group before the prince (what worked for me anyway, at least without a tank) was killing as many of them as possible on the pull, and using thunderstorm to get some distance again after they were all up close and had started hitting me.

I have an almost full set of Cobalt armor on my paladin..and I'm still getting smashed pretty hard even at 71 on the trash mobs. :S
