Talent Help

I gave up on my sham team for now and created 2 locks and a priest team. I have a 70 lock that will join them when they get to outland instances. The reason I switched to the lock team is because I can power lvl them much quicker because i am using my 70 rogue. Can't do it with the sham team because one of the sham is on the rogue account. So new team will be 3 locks, priest, and pally (when pally gets 70 he will rush the shams).

Here is the usual question how should i spec them. Before I get yelled at and stuff let me explain what i am going to be doing. I am going to power lvl them to at least 45 (when i say power lvl i mean power lvl with my rogue not a company). Hoping to power them to 55 but don't know if rogue can handle higher lvl instances (i can link the rogue if it will help). Any ways the team is basily doing nothing but getting the xp from the runs. So what should i spec these guys keeping in mind that they wont be used until like 45 the earliest. I was thinking for the lock one of the 3 builds:
Build 1
Build 2
Build 3
I didn't take nightfall because i would have to keep spaming the sb key incase it procs, so not having it i don't have to spam the key all the time. If you have better ideas please link them.

I don't know what to do with the priest though. Should i spec him shadow and keep him in normal form and do a dps, heal, dps, heal...etc. Or should i go all holly. I Never did a priest before (yea i know that doesn't sound right, but lets keep it clean) so can someone link me builds.

I am mostly going to be doing instances with this group including heroics and hopefully raids. I have a talor making cloth for them so when they get to 70 they will get there 3 set of epics. Only thing is do i go shadow or moon for the priest (moon is good for healing and shadow is good for dps).

I am planning to do sm till lvl 40 then go to zf to like lvl 45, but i don't know what to do after zf and don't know if the rogue can handle anything after zf. Right now i can do sm cath with rogue and i only lose like 2% health. I don't pull multi mobs (mostly he is pvp build not pve), but even with 5 mobs on me haven't gone below 2% loss.

Affliction with a splash of Destro to 60, then respec Felguard is the normal routine for a solo Lock. MBed, I would imagine is similar with only a couple of minor changes.

Pre-60: WoWHead

60: WoWHead

Then continue this spec, grabbing Imp Shadow Bolt and Bane from Destro to 70, then repec to whatever you want.

Will the felguard do anything for me? I will have a pally tank so I wont have to worry about taking damage. Wont the 2 imps with improved firebolt be better? Are the imps better served as dps or just mana batteries (with dark pact)?

Talent specs are purely playstyle. I did the whole "lets see if this guy's talent spec works for me!" thing and it never worked out. I play much better when using my own specs.

And I wouldn't overanalyze the whole talent thing anyways, just roll with it and pick talents along the way. It's cheap to respec.

BUT, it is in my humble opinion that you should do a Discpline priest, so you can get the spirit buff that offers more spell dmg to the locks. Disc priests heal really well too and have lots of mana.

d0z3rr what would you say a good discipline spec be. I have no clue about priest so could you help on this one? Should i have the priest go moon cloth then for the bonus healing?

I don't mind playing around with locks because i have been playing one for so long solo that i can play a little, but any ideas would be great.

I can't really recommend any specific Disc spec. Just make your way down the tree and choose talents you like. After a while you'll figure out what talents you actually need/want. Talents don't make a huge difference until about level 50. And don't get distracted by pvp oriented talents if all you're going to be doing is pveing. I had that problem.....
