I gotta asked if its fair to compare 1dk+4rets to 4 elemental shaman? Unless you are including a healer with the shaman it just seems unfair to quad shamans alone.

My setup includes a healer. 4x ele and 1 healer.

For the rets and dk. The problem I saw was if 5 guys attacked you and they were all spread out...

So you'd have to chase all the guys down - who were all spread out, who could all run just as fast as you. You only had a DG that you could use like 1 time every 20 seconds. So I spent most of my time chasing down people who'd end up kiting me. While I was chasing down 1 person, I'd have 4 others all range attacking my guys (While I did no damage). I'd also get frost nova'd, frost trap, slowing poison etc... while being chased so 1 or more of my guys were at a crawl. Like I said, 1 good mage could lock me down forever. He could blink out of deathgrip and iceblock stuns and blink out. If I did everything perfectly, I might be able to kill that mage, but that didn't stop the other 4 ranged from ripping me apart.

It's possible that 1dk and 4rets are just too complex for me to play, or I did something totally wrong. I did love them in PVE though, a lot faster to do heroics.

Good stuff.

Been a while since I have run quad shaman with or without healer. I usually run DK-2/3 healers in BGs or Protret-2/3healers. I sometime run DK-3healers-UA lock so my dk stuff doesnt get dispelled. I have all 4 healers types geared so I mix and match alot.
