I wonder how much the comp would differ if the 5th was a prot paladin (in ret gear). They do about 80% of the damage as full ret (if not close to the same from the numbers I've seen), and you get a 30 yard snare + silence on 3 targets, and a couple other goodies.

The role of the 4 rets is obvious, but I still haven't quit pictured exactly where the DK and its spec fits in. I know there is death grip and chains of ice, and the blood tap heal, but I guess what I'm wondering is if it's the DK that ties the whole thing together, or if that just happened to be the 5th you already had. I'll probably try both eventually, I got 4 new pallies at 60 and an older DK there as well, will level them together, either way I'll have a 5th paladin if that works. Of course... death grip + instant death on the most dangerous DPS (warlock, ele shaman?) could be a real game winner, like the shaman IWIN button. I imagine most other classes' damage can be much better mitigated by paladins than shaman (warriors, other ret paladins, rogues).
