If i understand it right you will have a choice between running dk+4 pallys or running with 5 pallys.

I think you can't go wrong with either grouping. The advantage to the DK is that it's already uncrittable,
which may get you hitting heroics on your group that bit quicker.

Then again the pally is a very, very capable multibox tank. Easy to macro.

It may come down to personal preference. Which do you prefer playing?
Yes, DK + 4 Rets vs Prot Pally + 4 Rets. That's the choice.

I can see the pally being very capable, and I did like to play my pally in BC a lot, though I didn't tank much with her.

But the following reasons came to mind on the DK if I go Unholy...
1) I can pick up speed boost talents for all toons from their primary trees
2) Ebon Plague to boost everyone's damage at least somewhat
3) AMS -- Stacked with Pally auras, that should make the entire group nearly unkillable by magic for a several seconds

And simply having a DK rather than a Pally...
1) Death Grip -- because as a Paladin I've always had to chase down my kills
2) No reliance on mana and being healed by my Rets to regen mana

But using a Prot Pally would offer...
1) Bubble for everyone
2) BoSanct for everyone
3) One more aura

So personally I'm leaning towards the DK, but mainly because she is already Def capped and partially geared in epics. Though I do wonder if perhaps going Frost might be an option as well. Glyphed Howling Blast spreading Chillblains around might be better than giving everyone a speed boost. But trying to work Hungering Cold while 4 Consecrations are going off wouldn't be good...
