Moonkin + Elemental Shaman = Good Combo? (WotLK)

Heya.

First of all, thanks for all the good information on this site - has helped me alot in levelling my druid and shaman from 1 to 67 (currently).

Now, I've been leveling my druid as feral (tank) and my shaman as elemental - and my speed is good, but now that I'm heading into WotLK I was planning on doing some instancing and preferably I'd go with both my chars.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to manage tanking as feral and dps'ing as shaman at the same time, so I was wondering if anybody has any feedback to provide me for a moonkin + elemental shaman combination as dps (soloing and instancing, plus handling elite quests compared to now that I have a feral tank to make the elites easier to handle).

(sorry for the messy writing, not been sleeping for a good while ^_^)

Im not sure if i understand right but are you planning on 2 manning instances?

If you play a druid+shaman my advice would be to spec Feral on the druid and resto on your shaman.

From my own server its well known that tanks and healers usualy is hardest to find.

If its dps then gogo with 2 chars!

Be sure to have a focus macro for hibernate and hex ready for heroics incase its needed!

Sorry for the mess ^_^

Basically, what I have now is a feral (tank) druid and a elemental shaman.

I'm wondering if I should go for moonkin and elemental shaman in WotLK to be able to do instances with both at once (both being ranged dps); and how this would affect my ability to duo elites compared to having a feral tank for it.

Moonkin Aura + Totem of Wrath = nice dps combo

Tank + Healer = everyone would be your best friend

Obviously, dual dps would be easier to play than any combination of healer/tank, but the real issue is finding a group. In my experience (as three dps) finding a tank and healer is a significant challenge.

Just keep in mind that Moonkin Aura doesn't stack with Elemental Oath.
