For me, the most interesting experience has been with my well-geared five-man shammy team in AV at level 70. I considered turning off XP gains because I was having so much fun in there. The things which stand out for me echo what has already been said but, in particular:
* All five shammies critted chain lightning (about a 1 in 250 chance) right in front of a huge wave of hordies. I took down twelve of them in a single shot and left another five or six with virtually no HP.
* Defending the towers single-handed, especially in the horde base. You can almost perceive the look of shock on their little faces when they run in to try and get the flag and are instantaneously blown out of the door, off the tower, and wiped out by five thunderstorms.
* There's always one rogue (and it always seems to be a rogue) who fancies his chances at picking off your leader at the start of an AV when you're running for Galv. I don't think they spot that the char running behind your leader is actually four chars lumped together. By the time they realise, they've already been dead about five seconds.
* When opposing characters have learned a harsh lesson at your hands and then come up against you again later. They stop, in the middle distance, consider for a second and then turn tail and run. The time I managed to scare off a group of nine or ten just by laying out my twenty totems in readiness sticks in the mind.
Aside from PvP, soloing an instance with five shammies (and, importantly, no tank) lived long in the memory. It's a shame Blizz thinks this is impossible and won't let me use the dungeon finder to do it.
