So having recently upped my setup to 10 boxes and cleared Moroes in Kara, I figure its about time to re-evaluate my set up. The basic premise of my configuration is that I have one of each class. I currently have my "spam" key set up to put up HoT rotations on the main tank, which has me wondering if I really need to have a dedicated healer spec in the group.

The spec I was considering go as follows:

Prot Pally
Elemental Shaman
Balance Druid
Shadow Priest
Fire Mage
Fury Warrior
Beast Mastery Hunter
Combat Rogue
Affliction Lock
Frost Death Knight

What I'm trying to keep in focus is maximizing raid DPS while maintaining certain buffs. For example, I need a mana regen class, and given I'm not going to spec my pally out of Prot, that leaves me with either the hunter or the priest to do it. I also plan on leaving the priest and druid out of their respective forms to maintain their ability to cast heals.

I currently keep Riptide, a refreshing Lifebloom (gets re-applied before the final tick), a Renew, Prayer of Mending, and Power Word: Shield on the tank. I can throw a rejuv and regrowth in to the mix if necesary. It really depends on what the DTPS ends up being.

Edit: Oh, right, Riptide is talented, isn't it? That throws a kink in to things.
