Is there no tactics/strats for pala/4 shamans teams? All tactics seems to be with a induvidual tank?
Its (imo) a lot easier to do the heroics with a seperate person controlling the tank, and even a seperate person controlling the healer. Controlling all five yourself is do-able, but for many heroics it is indeed a lot harder. I've done both -- I've taken my 3 ele shamans and just found a tank/healer and breezed through heroics like UK where I just cannot (still) do it when I solo control all five.

I would suggest for anyone having difficulty with heroics, which really is gonna be almost everyone trying to 5-box, just try to do a few with your tank solo, pugging the other spots. Get some badges and gear and do solo Naxx/VoA/etc with your tank, until he gets a lot of rep/gear. The heroics tend to get a ton easier once your tank is sitting at over 25k hp unbuffed and (obviously) over 540 defense (higher the better) and high dodge/block rating/parry. Block rating is a good stat to try and max since it is currently not subject to diminishing returns, and many bosses tend to have huge physical melee spike damage.

I've found the easiest heroics to be Halls Of Lightning (first 2-3 bosses only), Gundrak (all), and Nexus (all). I personally would skip UK until the tank is geared up a bit, the first boss can be very luck based and hits crazy hard.
