Death Knights => The End of the 5-boxed Shaman viability?

What about a set of keyboards in front of you (or key binds) that would let you auto run a single character in X direction? With software, you could make them run a set distance then stop following. Some kind of counter to get the character back into follow range?

And although 2 DK 5v5 groups COULD be coordinated enough to pull two characters apart.... I don't know how realistic of a situation that is going to be in terms of frequency of occurrence. And it remains to be seen how devastating that really would be. What about TS as a counter as well?

I would imagine a team with multiple Death Knights on it, which ran into a multiboxer and died horribly, might consider the tactic for future matches against boxers.
It won't be a common tactic, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did occur at times.

I'd think with two DK's on a team, it might be... chain pulling, where a DK will pull your healer out of the group, and a second DK would pull them further say into their melee group with Line of Sight broken.
Then they have one healer who is being focused by three targets and LoS to the rest of the team is gone. You can replace "healer" with whoever the other team wants to kill fast.

It never hurts to be prepared for every conceivable eventuality.
You don't know which of your toons will be pulled away, possibly further then /follow range.
So you need a keybind for each toon to turn and run towards your group.
Thunderstorm and Fire Nova can buy you some time whilst this is happening.
Your options include running all your toons towards the stranded toon, or running the stranded toon towards your group. Or even leaving them all where they are and dps'ing/healing whatever is within cast range.

I'm not sure what the best tactic will be.

I'd imagine with lower bracket players, your opposition won't be as difficult to deal with, ie less experience/skill/gear.
With higher bracket teams, you'll face fewer and fewer opponents which stack one class over a diverse mix of classes.
Aside from a boxer, are there many teams of 3+ one class + two others?

Or turn the gripped one towards the group and run them both together.

To use Death Grip to forcibly separate the other team, you first have to get your guys even more separated than you want the other team's to become. It seems like a slightly circular tactic to me, with an obvious first counter just be burning the tar out of the DK that just ran out of range of his healer. I don't think this will see much use beyond opportunistically, since you have to weaken yourself FIRST to try it. What might be more fun is a two DK chain pull around a corner against a single opponent, who you then kill, then repeat.
