DUO: Pally tank and Druid nuke/heal or Druid tank and Pally heal?

[khabel]

I'm having trouble deciding how to spec my 60 druid/pally duo for leveling, currently I'm using the druid to dps in cat and the pally to heal, would I be better off using the pally to tank and the druid to nuke/heal?

Cat - Great single target dps.
Pally - Great multi target tank.

Healing druid - many different healing spells to choose from, including Hots, AoE, and great way emergency mana recovery. IN-combat REZ!!!! hard to take down in bear form if pally dies.
Healing pally - several healing spells. hard to take down if cat dies. Bubble+Hearth in case of emergencies. Out-of-combat rez.

personally, i'd go with pally tank druid healer. but you just have to try both to see how it fits your style.

Why not try it? If you don't like how it works out for your playstyle then you're simply a respec away from something that does work for your playstyle?

The question I would suggest asking yourself is, "why do I feel like x or y would be better than z (what I have now)?". How is the current setup working out...do you feel like you're lacking something or that leveling could be faster?

Give that each class is a hybrid and can function in 3 different specs (healer, tank, dps), you have quite a few variations that you can try.

Hell, for leveling, spec them both for dps. If you really want a tank, use the pally. Either can do just fine healing for your leveling no matter what spec they are.

This unless you plan to instance both of them with three other people.

My personal preference is to keep a pocket healer. I like a smooth rhythm in my leveling and try to avoid any interruptions such as pvp, random chat, drinking & eating to regen hp/mana; two mana based dps can have spikey leveling cycles since they need to rest & drink occasionally (note: I wrote occasionally, not frequently.).
