They have the blue level crafter pvp gear, a 200 crafted 2 hander and berserker + med. of horde trinket. My plan was to gear them up through last AV weekend, but I kinda shelved them after a few hours to gear up my 5th shaman. I find it incredibly hard to master this new setup in conjunction with my pally & priest.

The amount of tools available is huge, but to use them in the proper situation is kinda ... hard. I'll probably have to start macro'ing more situational sequences, but for pvp thats not optimal. However the survivability from this team is awesome.

I disagree with shodokan, the game is not always about being rambo and trying to kill stuff fast. There are many situations where 'average' damage and using other tools properly is more beneficial. Pvp is not limited to arena. That being said: even well geared players die relatively fast when they get deathgripped in from this team.

Long story short: the potential is huge, but mastering it like i do with my shamans is gonna take me a while, but that is also partially due to the fact that i've never played a dk solo.

This is for wotlk btw.
Survival can be key, but "average" damage can be out-healed. Maybe not so much in cata when people go oom. But i certainly do not think ramboing it is the way to go unless you are DK/Ret then you have no choice really. But as a pure melee team you can't afford to turtle and be super defensive...sure you might win with that strat a few times but with the loss of death strike being a good source of healing in cata unless you are blood spec then you can't really rely on self healing and survivability.
