Warrior vs Paladin

[Multibocks]

I like my paladin tank because he is the toughest, so often he's the only one left, and then i can rez everyone. Can't rez with a warrior, and DK. I also have played a druid tank from 60-69 (RAF gifted to 60) and I am liking that. Having the self heal, and the big HP boost makes it easy to work my team without a dedicated healer (shadowpriest off heals) Most mob fights I don't bother healing, until the end, and on boss fights, I just apply DoTs in shadowform, then heal when necessary, then reapply dots, etc.

Haven't played a DK seriously, but I think I will run one with my shaman team. And I was considering rolling a warrior, just cause (RAF gift levels again )

Just one thing to add to this, I have a paladin tank too and it's actually faster to wipe and run everyone back (in most cases since GYs are close) than to rez one person at a time. Often when my paladin is the last man standing and there is still a mob left the mob usually wins. I can bubble, heal, yadda yadda, but usually its not good enough to take down one elite. They just have too much health.

I don't think blessings are better than 13% more damage for shamans and death grip and a bunch of other abilities. I didn't even realize we were talking about runners, I thought we were talking about mobs that ran after a DPS. For runners, who cares? I already addressed that any way - chains of ice pretty much stops them in their tracks, and death grip obviously pulls them right back to you, but I haven't yet even found a place where runners matter. The spiders in drak tharon that someone mentioned do run but I've always killed them before they get more than a couple steps away.

Anyway, tanking is mostly preference these days, but when I create a "main" character for my multibox group the first thing I think of is "how much would I like to play this character/class if I was soloboxing" and I can tell you that IMO Paladin is one of the most boring classes to solo box and DK is one of the most fun - so if I ever stop multiboxing I'd MUCH rather have an awesomely geared DK then Paladin.

I'm in the thought process of restructuring some of my teams, mostly because im leveling 3 more druids for my all druid team (stealth runs ftw!) so that leaves one of my teams without its tank. Sure, I could just keep my one main tank and sub in for the other team, but I'm brainstorming possibilities.

Right now I have

team 1 Prot Pally Holy Priest 3x Arcane Mages
team 2 feral druid shadowpriest 3x demonology warlocks
team 3 5 elemental shaman
team 4 5 druids
team 5 5 Dks
team 6 the leftovers, bm hunter, another shadowpriest, ret pally, holy pally.

I'm thinking about making a DK tank for my shaman, and either running 4 elemental, or 3 ele and 1 resto (im so used to having a dedicated healer, not sure i wanna stray from it. I have 5 shaman, so I could make 4 elemental and one resto, and cycle out one of the eles in instances.

But then im thinking, what about putting a DK on my druid team, and leveling a warrior tank for the shaman? I'd love to have all 4 tanks, all 4 healers, and all the ranged casters... Pipe dream for now, but given enough time, its within my grasp.

SO, to the point lol. Does a Dk have better synergy with Elemental shaman? or with Warlocks?
