Seems like an old post but will put my twopence in anyways :P

I use a Level 80 prot pally for boosting in strat, kills 2 birds with one stone, 1st is to boost my aslts up and second covers as a mount run.

I have not done it for a while last time was mostly ilvl 200 gear and maybe a couple of naxx items. But even then i could pull huge groups, drag em back to the entrance or wer i left my alts and burn them down with consecrate, holy wrath and wotnot. I only did the undead side (faster runs) as i think a pally can burn down undead a lot quicker esp if you have sense undead on for the extra damage. the only thing that was giving me problems was the spiders webbing me the same time i got silenced Hand of freedom, divine sheild (also popping divine sheild wen frogged in ZF works as well, but use sparringly lol )

Am doing ZF at the momment with 4 shammies (lvl 40 atm ) and wen i hit 45 they will be heading to strat, looking forward to strat as now in T9 and equivilent gear and wondering how i will do compared to the lesser gear.

thanks anyways for my two pence
