5 Prot Paladins?

In my experience, with any team for PvP, the only character that has to be soaking up a LARGE amount of damage, is the main toon. If you want to have a toon that breaks the rules of damage dealing in order to soak up as much damage as possible, regardless of losing >50% of his damaging potential, the main toon is the only one.

Beyond that, the 3-4 slaves should be geared towards as much survivability without gimping their damage much at all. The only time that they will really be getting focused is when your opposing team is smart enough to know that they are squishier; but 95% of the time, the main toon is the only one that takes any focused damage.

This has not been my experience at all. I'd like to be on your battlegroup. On Bloodlust everyone and their dog knows that CCing yor main and killing your alts is the way to go, and they do t in spades.

In cata, there won't be battlegroups.

And I'm talking about Battlegrounds, where the players are running around uncoordinated. Without coordination, how the hell can a bunch of people who have never met know to stun the main toon, and kill slave A ? In my experience in Battlegrounds, EVERYONE attacks the main toon, and theres never any coordinated pressure on a slave.

Oh totally agree here. I am also in bloodlust. (for now)

I tried DK + 4 prods. My team got bounced around in so much CC and burst, and it is not even funny. Prods have the same problem that rets have. No cleanse, getting kited. A couple fear/sheep/nova/earthbind, you will never get your full team to attack someone. When you finally get out of the CC, the prod's burst is meh for me.

This team DK + 4 prod might work in arena though since it can take a beating with divine guardian rotation as well as a lot of defensive CDs. It also had x 4 range slience + daze. So those 4 flying shield might catch healers off guard.
