My problem is having to learn all the specs, hehe. Right now the 1 Pally and 4 Shams is going along fine, but I have not spent any talent points yet. I hear like a Ret Pally is good for AOE grinding for instance and maybe its a faster way to level, and yeah 4 ele shamans seems to be a nice DPS back up.

I am also considering a 5 Druid group at some point in time. It seems just that the flexibility with the different specs would give me a nice set of options and they are specs I am generally familiar with.

Let me ask ya this though.. Now this is not in pvp (well not really, would be awesome if it worked but players tend to move around, hehe). With my Pally and Shamans I have found when I am OOM with the shamans I do my normal pally deal with melee and some procs but I then walk backwards through my alts until they are behind my target and facing it, then I have them melee as well. This is working really well right now, espeically with the midsummer festival procs that can happen. But what if this was applied to say the five druids in cat form doing the 'backstab' type attack. I move in with the main tank druid and do a normal back stab opening then I back up and get the other 4 druids into position and have them open up with the attacks. I dunno, just a thought.. Lots to learn still I did figure at the end that my make up for heroics would be Pally/Druid tank, Shaman/Priest healer and then 3 ranged DPS of some sort of make up out of a mage/warlock/shaman/hunter.. With maybe considering the pet classes a bit higher just for the extra bodies around. anywho, lots to learn lots to consider
