Why wait on a queue? Aren't you a 5 boxer :-)
If I wanted to do an instance, there is no queue.
But there is a queue to get into battlegrounds, which is what I was referring to.
Don't forget that now you can pop 5x earth ánd 5x fire elemental at the same time. It's pretty mayhem in combination with fire nova & chain lightning (as ele). For 'lols' I've off specced my 5x shaman resto, and did a couple of AV's with them. Round robin healing from the main with an assist macro. It was big fun, but saying i'd want to run all the time in this spec .. no way.
I've got a PvE composition that I could level too.
Usually use one team for one aspect of the game.
And another team for a different aspect.
Not sure I'd want to play an all healer spec, as the primary team.
But they would be a diversion, or something to do once in a while.
Plus a fair bit of time to gear them up.
Not happy with the Feral changes.
And am hoping something is reverted or more likely a defensive cooldown or two are added.
And play something in the mean time.
Boomkin was fun in the past, but not sure I want to do that now.
But a healer composition is the change of pace, and likely will be fun for a while and then periodically down the road.
You can pop earth Elementals at the same time as fire? Since when? wow!
Whatever you choose, keep us updated. I play a lot when i can and the key for me to keep it interesting is having various teams that play very differently.
If you've got the druids at 85 and have some honour gear then just use them I reckon mate.
I can understand you are feeling a bit disheartened at the moment, but not sure that levelling a new team for a niche role like this is really worth the time. As you mentioned, the druids will heal as well as any of the others (and probably better x5) fulfilling their main role. I guess you can spec them for the free wraths for cheap albeit soft dps and the dots would be annoying I imagine.
As a node defense team you would probably be unbeatable.
I can't imagine you retrieving many flags but good luck trying to kill a druid FC with 4 supporting druid healers :P
Probably the only time you would struggle is in Strand where you woudn't be able to kill the tanks and unfortunately you can't heal them. Saying that, I can't really imagine 5 shockadins being a hell of a lot better here.
If you do want some PvP fun though and you are set on levelling a new group you could always go the FotM DKs ;) They truly are awesomely fun to play.
