I appreciate the suggestions! I'm definitely going to go with a prot pally for my tank since I've had a capped paladin I've played for the past few years, not to mention that I've never played a warrior past 40... I know it would be easier if I were to use three DPS characters, but my friend is dead set on playing a healer, and since he was a raid tank for so long, he doesn't want to tank PERIOD. =/ Plus, I'm always up for a good challenge.

My main set of characters that I dual-boxed were a holy paladin/demo warlock (I had a lot of fun with these and could take on most non-instance group content by myself -including Outlands content), and what I liked about that pair was that I was the jack-of-all trades, per say, in the respect that I could heal some, tank some, and DPS some, and my survivability was AMAZING compared to another combo I tried (shadow priest/frost mage).

I know that a paladin will be easier to tank with in contrast to a warrior, as so many people have said on these forums, so I guess I'm now trying to decide if it would be better to have a character with some healing abilities in case my friend needs backup healing, and then throw in a DPS character? Or would two DPS characters be better?

If it helps, my friend is going with a resto druid or a holy priest for one of his characters, although I'm trying to come up with a suggestion for his second character.

Thanks again.
