Honestly, I'm not having any trouble generating RP. I don't think I "need" the NoSanc, all it would do is give me more RP to dump with Death Coil. As for Mana Issues, all 4 Shamans have Improved Water Shield, all are dropping Mana Spring Totems, and all 4 have the Glyph that increases mana regen from Water Shield. I'm not seeing any mana problems and if they do start to lose some mana (which frankly right now I don't even see it move) but on boss fights if it starts to dip I just Thunderstorm for a quick boost. Losing the BoW on the Shamans has proven to be a pretty negligible hit. The DK doesn't NEED a dedicated healer, he lives just as well on 4 Lesser Healing Waves as he does with a Pali or anyone else healing him for that matter. As for offtanking, that's what your pet is for. He actually does it quite well even in instances. He might die if it's a high DPS mob and you're not attentive. But ... then he's still served his purpose, one less mob hitting the tank for a time, and he did some damage to it before ... I've actually had more problems with him killing the add before I got to it than him dying though.
