A lot of the content in BfA is focused around 3 player groups.Quote:

My job as a tank is positioning the mobs right, watching boss abilitys to move out of, move into, turn the boss, run away or counter with my cooldowns while using abilities to reduce the damage I take while watching out for adds to bind them on me. That is my job, not fighting for aggro against the DDs.
Usually: one mob in a raid that is not caster would one-shot everything that was wearing cloth and two-shot everything that isn't a tank.Quote:

Like what for example? The only thing I see is Island Expeditions.Quote:

Obviously, I dont think Blizz intended this. This especially makes sense in my mind now that mythic dungeons are going to be a competitive part of the MLG WoW scene.
And relating to OP's question. Im currently perusing 1 mixed team Encompassing the 5 classes I feel like I will want to play most in BFA (Lock, War, Sham, Dk, Druid) and on them I have all the professions I want. This will allow me to grind, gear up, and gain rep with factions if needed for recipes. I will likely level up my 4 other dks and a druid to do my farming. I like to play solo in addiditon to multibox so that why I went for the mixed team instead of the single class spam, though 5 120 blood dks sounds fun.
I boxed those Cata dungeons. Back then my 3 DPS on my trinity team were all hunters. So aggro wasn't a problem.
If you want to do this right just have a toggle setup to disable broadcasting to the DPS. Usually part of a group assignment. If you drive from the tank or even the healer the DPS could be on follow while the tank gathers everything up. Then hit the toggle again once the tank has secured aggro.
