Just kidding. I have mid 40's team of 1x pally 4x shammy. The shammies heal only when needed, which isn't much. However, I do like my warrior with the 4 shammies better - she can't hold much aoe damage, but chain lightning is on a cooldown anyway and hte shammies aren't really aoe'rs.

I've started a couple other multiboxing groups -- I'm having alot of fun with 1xpally, 2xshadowpriest, 2xlocks. Because the 2 shadowpriests and locks both are dot classes (primarily) it works really well. The pally heals during trash (blueberry tank) and tanks harder elites. The hardest part about a dedicated pally tank is runnign up to the mob. Such a waste of time.

I have a macro set up so that the pally only uses offensive abilities when the blueberry is NOT her focus. This really simplifies things for me when doing easy quests with a voidy tank.

With the pallies and 4x shammies, the pally rushes in while the shaman lay totems. She grabs all the aggro, and the shaman dps each one down one at a time - chain lightning every cooldown only whenever there are at least 3 mobs. However, it still feels slow. They're basically unkillable and 4x selfrez plus DI makes it so I never have to corpse run. The warrior is better for questing and such as she uses charge which, to me, speeds up the grind.

SUMMARY:

Paladin + shammies: can use EVERY totem my shammies lay, somewhat slow pulling, great aoe aggro but chain lightning is on cooldown which slows things down, shammies LOVE blessing of wisdom -- paladin sometimes goes oom even with regular healing, mana totems, seal/judge wisdom, AND bless of wisdom. Horrible to die to oomness.

War + shammies: WINDFURY! Some totems not helpful for war (i.e. mana spring), warrior can charge which speeds up quest grinding and easy mobs, war seems to last longer before needing heals -- if shammies go oom, warrior can zomg windfury them to death

My vids thus far only show warrior tanking, but I'll make a couple with pally tanking so you can see how it's done. Check the vid forum.
