Is 5 protection paladins considered the way to go?

I agree with this. Hunters are great..but you can't que for dungons with them, you have to go to the dungon location. 5 Palies..5druids work well because you can que for dungons. IF that does not matter to you.. 5 hunters work.

Aye this is true. I updated my text with some more reflection about this. I now remember that I actually did not level my hunters the regular way, I boosted most of them with the Legion pre-order offer. And when I leveled my paladins, I just blazed through the levels by only doing dungeons via LFG tool.

By the way, did anyone try running dungeons at all with 5 hunt at lower levels, are they doable? Might be a considerable factor also.

The person in question is completely new to WoW, maybe it could still be "fun" to take a little longer time, and experience all the quests and the content outside, instead of powerleveling through repeating dungeons? And travel to the dungeon manually (assuming 5 hunt pre 110 can clear it) which was the only option in earlier days. And I don't know, but the game felt different, and not necessarily in a bad way, when we did not have these handy tools to teleport us everywhere. (At least for the first time experience)

I have a team of hunters that I stopped playing around level 40, not because they were bad, but because of the aforementioned annoyances running to dungeons to level up. They absolutely wrecked stuff in the dungeons, no problems at all.

I would say, for questing, multi-boxing quests as a new-to-WoW player would be an awful experience because so many quests aren't boxer friendly, at least 1-60. Even as an experienced player and a pretty experienced multi-boxer, I dread 1-60 questing with a multi-box team due to how annoying it is, and that's as someone who knows what to skip, where to go, and all that.
