Pve melee or ranged dps?

With ranged DPS, you can attack from melee range, max range or anywhere in between. With melee, you only have the melee range option, which makes some fights extremely painful. I'd much rather have ranged DPS. There are some folks on here who have been successful with melee DPS, though that means just as much as the 5-shaman teams that have cleared heroics recently. Sure, it can be done, but is it efficient, profitable and fun? All depends on your preferences.

Thanks for the input, it certainly help for class choice. Any suggestion on the make up? I was thinking along the lines of priest healer, with shaman elemental, balance druid, and a hunter not sure on spec atm with warrior as tank as i mention earlier. Any other input from experience member is appreciated.

What do you want to accomplish? Heroics, Raids, Arena, BGs, all of those have different "best" group setups and have some obvious caveats regarding how well they do.

Heroics mainly just for gearing. I would solo for raids though. After looking at my planned setup im thinking of dropping the hunter for a lock just for curse of elements boost.
