Sounds like you like mages and rogues, and want a healer as an "alt"?Originally Posted by 'Xerga',index.php?page=Thread&postID=104298#post10 4298
If you go rogue, consider that a druid can catform stealth with you to avoid mobs you don't want to fight and perhaps later do chest farming stealth runs with you. They can also cast some HoTs while moving, which happens alot of if you need to reposition behind a mob during a stunlock.
Otherwise, consider that a pally can buff your rogue with blessing of might, and won't crumple if they pull proximity aggro when you're in stealth mode preparing your opener.
Rogue/priest is also a solid pair -- particularly considering the success this group has in things like 2's arenas. However, for leveling (and since you probably won't be arena'ing with them) you'd probably want it to go shadow for the extra DPS.
For mages, consider that a priest comes with Fort, Shield (to prevent spell pushback), and instant cast heals they can do on-the-run while you're AoE'ing or running away after a frost nova. It could also go as shadow to give you a nice mana battery.
Druids are good, but mages are squishy -- so if their hots can't keep up with the damage then you might be in trouble. On the other hand, though, a boomkin (who can spec dreamstate/healing touch) comes with a very nice spellcrit aura.
Pallies are easy to macro for healing purposes and give you Blessing of Wisdom. It can also consecrate (it helps to be specced somewhat prot) and help hold aggro if you want to AoE things. They can even BoP you if you're near death.
