[WoW] Which tank is the best for Multiboxing heroics?

[Negativ1337]

Hey guys.

I recently dinged level 60 with my 5 shamans. My plan is to MB heroics with them and make one restoration. I have a 71 feral druid, 70 protection paladin, 60 tauren warrior, 55 DK which i can level-up to 60.

I have enough money to gear them all up to a proper tank. I never played DK and i would like to try it. Would it be hard to multibox with a DK protection in my team?

Thank you in advanced,

Negativ

Hachoo has been using a DK tank and has cleared many if not all of the heroics, check the videos in the PVE tactics section for the proof. You can't go wrong with Paladin tank either, that's what I use and lots of others have no troubles doing most of the heroics. Whatever you enjoy playing!

DK or Paladin. Can't go wrong with either.

Druid's and Warriors are great too, but don't bring as much to the table.

DK will add spell damage to your shammies. Plus, there's a lot of "Oh shi*" moves (death gripping casters, anti-magic, and the like). I played a druid tank before I started multiboxing, but I really love my DK tank. I can't tell you how a pally is, I've never played one past level 4.

haven't used a DK for a tank but this is what I know roughly about the differences.

I hear several people are using DKs over a Protection Pally.
I'm biased to the Protection Pally myself, I find the Pally simpler to play.
the Pally doesn't have to use any type of combo attack like the DK ( i.e. a plague strike & frost strike and pestilence before obliterate increase the obliterate dps ).
one of the DK's AoE is a click to cast, not that hard to do since you usually put it down at the start of a fight but it is hard to reapply once the fight is going.
The pally AoE is an instant cast and drops where he stands( concecration ) very easy to reapply.

so, for pure simplicity... I vote for the pally you already have.
I'm sure the DK players can give you the pros of a DK.

I have an all DK team right now and they are lots of fun to play, they aren't as dungeon viable as I had hoped they would be ( as all DK that is ).

Pally is easier, but DK will give you more DPS overall.

The story's kind of bland. It's about this guy named Dumbledore Calrissian, and he needs to return the ring back to Mordor.

I'd aruge that a DK tank is the best to go along with four shaman. If you're running 3 shaman + druid, then a Paladin will be superior because the druid will give you the +13% damage bonus on your targets, plus the moonkin bonus which stacks with the totem of wrath. The Paladin can give you Kings, or whatever other blessing you need. The Paladin will also bring auras (increases healing overall) and a bunch of "oh sh!t" and other useful moves, such as stuns, Sacred shield, and Lay on Hands. Also, now with Exorcism being usable on all targets, Paladin dps has gone up significantly; I personally am clocking 1100-1300ish with my Protection Paladin at level 76 (Sometimes my paladin dps is higher than my druid's dps... I'm still trying to figure that one out myself).

Cheers.
