I swapped in a furious geared druid and we hit 1651... yay furious rings. We played some tough teams too, all cleaves, all high rated. The beauty of having a druid or priest healer is they actually attack them (no one ever got near my paladin). It's soo easy to blow up melee from range while they attack my druid. Still same CC issues though, but he would use wild growth + tranquility to get us through the first several seconds.
