    Default 3 Warlocks, 1 Disc Priest, and what class for tank?

    I'm somewhat inexperienced when it comes to multiboxing. What I want from my tank is the ability to hold thread consistantly. My disc priest has very good gear and can single target heal very powerfully.
    Which tanking class can I make that has an easy /castsequence for buttonmashing one or two macros?

    Paladin. I just have one /castrandom macro with all the important paladin tanking spells. Well, i have judgements separate, but for the most part, I just spam one macro. I click a few extra spells here and there, but for the most part its just my spam button.

    My druid tank works well too, only difference is you have to make sure you face all the mobs (moreso than with the paladin) for swipe to work.

    Haven't played a DK or warrior, so I can't comment too much, but I hear that all tanks have some form of aoe threat generation.

    I have a similar group make up. 3 Affliction Warlocks, Holy Priest and I'm using a Paladin. A blind retarded chimp could use a paladin for a MB tank. I don't see any negatives at all for using a Paladin, esecially with a mxed group and a first time multibox group. (I like the 3 locks btw, DoTs can really melt down mobs and really no sudden crits that gets a mob looking away from the tank.)

    Thanks for the replies. May I ask what spec you have on your Warlocks? Are you Haunt spec or did you go for SL\Felguard?

    Also, how possible would it be to use a DK? I really want to have a DK on my account, and it'd be very convenient if I could do heroics with him, and not have to have him as a 6th character on the side.

    Default I'm running pretty much the same thing..

    Right now I have a team about to start on the WOTLK heroics (have killed one heroic boss but I'm still a bit under geared so picking up a little more then going back in). 3 warlocks, Disc Priest and a Death Knight for the tank. My warlocks were deep demonology spec to run felguards but I'm trying out demo specs and affliction rotations to bump up their DPS. So far Demolition has been a huge upgrade in DPS. I have found the Unholy DK works awesome with the warlocks (ebon plaguebringer allowing all three to put up CoA and more IMP pet DPS now that I'm going destro/affliction). He also works nice with Discipline Priest throwing up shields on top of a boneshield. I've literally not healed once in some pulls if I get a bit lucky with the shields holding out. My tanking rotation is not optimal but it is one button spammable. Before WOTLK I had a paladin tank and as it has been said before Paladins are so easy in their tanking rotations, have frontloaded threat with Avenger, and incredible AoE tanking and threat generation. Throw in their buffs and they are very hard to beat for a MB tank. But DK's look cool and are fun to play and put out some nice dps as well. Dropping a AMZ is just pure pwn on some encounters.
