Pallys are getting a complete and total overhaul, I think the only thing I've seen in beta that hasn't changed too much is prot. Its still waaaaaaay too early to make any assumptions of how they will be. However that fact may be truer than most there is something that won't change much: pallys will still have high dmg output art of war and divine storm/healing hands. This makes for a solid team makeup and very resilient as the passive healing will still be very very strong. They/blizzard have stated that they want the dmg to feel more predictable and healing will be more reactive than proactive. This is super for us boxers as we'll be that much better at it due to the mechanics and how things work
Now how mana and regen and what not will work is another story and we'll have to wait a few more weeks but I think pallys will still be good. Repentance +hoj will be strong for cc as it will be needed, as much instancing as I've seen it will be lol
If you still want to stick with shammys they're gettin some nice tools too, and so are druids, which I myself plan to finish leveling because of how much fun I've had just solo in the beta with mine.
Also, a tank 3 frost dk and a shaman or ret will make a good team in cataclysm too, with some newer tools to make them work a little better. I ran in wotlk for a long time with feral tank 3 dks and it was a blast, always pugged a heals but it was effective.
Also keep in mind the racials are also due to get a semi complete overhaul, so pick a race based off how they look or how you want the team to work for you buy remember that the racials, while handy now, MIGHT be very different later
Ps - welcome back!
