Awesome, thanks for your advice, Merc =)

I like the idea of having good DPS from mages, but I really just don't want to play one, so I am going to use locks, I think. Also, hunters don't appeal to me, and don't seem to sync up with the raid, how is your hunters damage?

What spec do you run your warlocks? and can you link or explain your rotations on your locks and boomkins?

thanks for everyones help. I have my team setup as follows for now, until my other locks hit 80:

2 prot pallies, 2 holy priests, 3 elemental shaman (one resto for now until my priests gear gets much better), 2 boomkins and one lock. My plan is to replace one boomkin and one shaman with 2 more locks, but they aren't 80 yet so I have to wait on that.
