Has anyone tried out wotlk beta 5mans as a boxing group?

[suprafro]

Howdy, was wondering if anyone tried out any of the wotlk beta 5mans as a full shaman group? I saw a posted video of a 5x shaman doing utgarde keep which was very cool but was wondering if anyone else had tried some of the other dungeons?

otherwise has anyone just tried out the dungeons in a "normal" group with 5 players and had any thoughts of their viability with a 5x shaman group?

I've tried Utgarde a few times but the lag was incredibly bad the past few weekends when I tried that there was literally 3-4 second delays on casting / follow. Overall the instance is very easy with 5 shamans. The last boss going into phase 2 was the only tough part which unfortunately I've had the opportunity to attempt one time. I tried Nexus as well with a regular group... all seemed very doable with 5 shamans personally. The last boss in Nexus might be a bit of a problem because you have to move every so often to get rid of a debuff so you can't just sit there and all out nuke (maybe you can before it stacks too high I dunno)... but I could see spreading out around him and just tapping forward and back on all your shamans then throw a few bolts, rinse, and repeat.

I think the biggest problem is that the took out any benefit for resilliance in PVE.

anyway...

I tried 5 in Strat - it was impossible. I was getting hit way too hard. I even tried 4 shaman and a pally tank and couldn't do it (although the pally was in the default pre-made level 80 pvp gear). With a bit more work I'm sure I could get the 4 shaman and pally tank going, but I don't think 5 shaman would work. (At least in the current nerfed state of shamans in beta)

Thanks for the feedback guys, are the trash mobs in heroic immune to thunderstorm knockback and the new fire nova totem stun? With these new abilities I was thinking that trash would become alot easier to deal with then currently, though if your getting 1-2 shot I suppose it doesnt matter

I am trying a 5 Shammy group at the moment (low lvl though)

1 Enhacement and 4 Elemental spec. The enhancement got a shield and can tank some.
Worked so far fro RFC, WC, BFD. (lvl 29 now)

Wow massive thread necromancy - this was asking about the wotlk beta long before it ever actually came out. I think we have plenty of threads pertaining to the dungeons from a standpoint of post-wotlk release players
