I don't understand why so many people are set on the tank/healer/lock/2xmage team. CoE is nice and all, but I don't really see a huge advantage to the warlock besides making your 5-man team even more complex to control, I prefer a shaman healer for totems and then you don't miss out on the benefits of SS.

If I didn't have a very well geared warrior to begin with I would have gone with a pally tank for sure. Already had a shaman whom I raid with, so just made 3x mages, almost 44!

Good starters guide though, especially about the melee sucking as non-mains. Positioning for melee is a huge pain, and I don't really see a multiple melee team doing so hot.
