It's great burst damage all the healing you'll need (I rarely need to heal during any single pull and often go multiple pulls until I need to heal. I farm Live Strat for gold farming) and when things go wrong you have 4 reincarnates that can all rez. You aren't going to do the massive AOE pulls that mages can do, and you aren't going as fast as 4-warriors 1-shaman but I do a full strat live in about 30 minutes which is fast enough for me.

I find the fights where the boss summons multiple adds are quite difficult to handle with AE spam as i go oom fast.

I think it would be difficult and I still have a ways to go but I think it would be completely possible.
The boss is a tank and spank with adds and AoE damage. Move tank and heals/dps into position, keep them in one spot, and burn the boss ASAP.
The adds are by far the biggest concern although the AoE damage creates some difficulty from a healing perspective.

I would probably drive from the priest and try the following different ways to handle them. A lot of this would be dependent upon how many casts it takes for the adds to die. I would not let Baron heal from the adds.

Strategies I would use to approach the add problem (in order):
1.) Strat water on priest.
2.) Holy Nova on priest, if only one cast, hope for best on mana
3.) Round Robin AE on mages, assuming it only takes one cast.

I can do all the dungeons in classic. I've done UBRS clears with a buddy who plays prot paladin / 3x mage / holy paladin.

My comp is a warrior / 2x mage / hunter / priest. A 3rd mage would have been better but I raid weekly on my warrior and hunter which were my intentions going into classic. I will say that having the hunter with jumper cables can save some running back because a warrior / 3x mage / priest has no wipe protection.

As WLMMP i have cleared all dungeons. For UBRS full run i invited 4 dps friends.

As for baron I just max range casters and downrank healing on the priest. Mana ruby and evocation for mages and a mana pot for the priest.
AE for adds and rest just pewpew.
