My lvl 50 tank is waiting for my 3 sorcs to lvl up. I thought about using DD spec only for the sorcs. Now I was running a lvl 25 fp with 3 lvl 28 sorcs (all DPS specced, some points in healing tree) + 1 companion tank and it was quite easy. So I guess a well enough equipped tank + 3 DD sorcs can run at least the easy lvl 50 heroics (similar to tank + 4 shamans in wow).
One thing that really hurts sorcs is the dependence on procs to increase dps. The ground aoe attack that heals and gives your dots more damage would be very hard to do boxing.
As far as I understand there are some procs but not too many and they have a high probability. For example lets say in average it procs all 10s, after the proc I have around 10s to push the button. So my rotation will just push the button after 18s. Most of the time the buff should have procced by then. I will never achieve perfect damage output but I guess 90% is possible. I think thats good enough. Also other classes have procs and bounty hunter + imperial agent are probably very hard to box perfectly due to overheating / energy problems. I guess with these classes the boxable rotation will also only make around 80-90% of the perfect DPS. Maybe sith warrior would be easier but its a melee class, I dont like that :)
