Sorry, I never remember to specify. I run five boomkins on this team. I don't even have my bear tank macros on a hotbar yet ... I used to, then switched over to Macaroon and didn't bother remaking them because the boomkins were exactly as nuclear as I needed.

The pally+locks team I'm talking about is a prot pally tank, two affliction locks, one destro lock and a holy priest. Despite lacking reliable CC, they rip things up in PvE ... but not nearly as well as five coordinated DPS. It's kind of sad, because I always felt so smug about doing the same content that five-shaman teams did, but with three different classes (and four specs). But now I see why the shaman teams became so standard. Massive DPS is a major thrill.
