4 hunters and a healer

Set sail for fail!

I've run and am still running a group like this myself to 80. Right now, they're at 75 and quested most of the time to level up. I have been able however to run and clear every dungeon I've run with them, but only the Vanilla instances and a few BC ones. I run with a Disc Priest leading 3 Hunters, 2xBM and 1xMM/BM. All 3 with bears with growl turned on unless I pug with a tank. I also use Healbot on my Priest. I attempted normal UK once my team got to 74 and better geared, and couldn't make it past the first mob on the stairs. So, if you're 5boxing, like everyone else here said, this group is not meant for end-game content. PvP however is fun. I hit up BGs with them as they leveled and had a blast. With this team, people still for some reason went for my hunters instead of the Priest first and still died. Might be good for 10-25 mans, but gearing them up for them can be a problem.

The problem is... they're not even really great at BG/PvP.

Hunters' defenses are all very active, not passive like shamans or pallies. Managing feign death, deterrence, disengage, etc on multiple characters is awful.

Oh yeah, and you're useless when a melee infiltrates your team.

There are a few little tricks that they can do well, but not enough to justify actually playing them anymore. 4xslowing traps in AV at a choke point WAS fun pre-WotLK, though!

I'll 109th the recommendation of an actual tank type, in combination with three hunters.

For the healer, generally the strongest options are: Resto Druid or Disc/Holy (or Holy/Disc) Priest. However, if the team includes no shammies at all, then Resto Shaman is probably my first choice; totems and heroism/bloodlust are rather huge boosts to both melee and casters.

Thanks for all advices.
If I still go ahead with this idea I'll do it as my secondary team on the ally side, that way I'll be able to swap characters between this team and my 5x druid team when hitting that wall.
