Now i'll start off by saying i'm not the most hardcore of player but I do love playing most aspects of the game from Raids to PVP. Ive read through a few topics and I seem to get the idea that most of the advice given is to get teams to around 2000 rating or a really high rating. I'm not looking for that, but i'm looking to be competative team even if i'm not with the big teams.

I currently play a ret pally with full Val gear and 3 items off 213ilevel gear. I've become fed up of playing arena with other people because my first partner could never stick to arena times, and although my current partner is much better than my last we're not performing as well.

I've been considering trying 2 ret paladins so I can nuke and destroy one person and then tactically take down the last person. I was considering a druid because it gives me the same flexibility in terms of dps and flexibility but it also gives me the option of ranged attacks too. I've not seen that much on 2v2 teams so I dont know how successful they can be, but surely they cant be that bad if i'm only looking to compete?

If anyone can tell me what class combo's might work better that would be awesome too.

For anyone wanting to reccomend me trying 3,4,5 boxing as much as i'd love to I really cant see myself doing it because of finances as i'm off to uni in a few months and i'm using the free time now to experiment with wow :P

Thanks in advance
