5xpally team want to add another 5x

[warweasel]

so have a 5x pally team that is progressing nicely.. tank almost 5kgs, 4 dps almost 4k gs.

want to add another team for 10mans.

I want to keep the keypresses neat and clean.. Little micromanagement would be nice. Thus, no 1xwarlock, mage, priest, blah blah.

Was thinking of like either

5x shammy, with 2 or 3 specced for healing?
5x mage for dps and speccing a pally or 2 for heals..

ect.. just want to keep the setup simple.. what would be most effective in that nature?

Currently, warlock is as easy to manage as any other dps . . . 5 shaman would work, but you lose a lot of buffs and flexibility. CC seems, at this point, to be a big deal in Cata. I wanted to make some changes to my 10 man squad but i'm holding off for a couple of months now :/

What about a 10box that is mostly melee?

Team 1 (Locked in)

1x prot pally
4x ret pally

Team two
````have two available 80 shamans, 1 warrior and 1 druid.. they could be easily specced to melee for the shamans/druid. Looking for options on the fifth slot.. ideas below
1dps = enc shammy
2dps= enc shammy
3dps= feral druid
4dps = arms warrior
???

I know warriors are a pain to manage due to rage. so not mind leave him out. i could easily spec any of the pallys, shamans or druid to heal as needed.

perhaps to keep the melee theme going... i could do a dps rogue/dk/hunter? I have little experience with any of those three classes in melee.. how hard are they to manage in multiboxing? Know rogues have combo points.. hunters well.. yea... no idea on dks.

So i could add another druid possibly, or another shaman to the 2nd team. Thoughts?

You will really suffer on some fights if you plan to go x10 melee.

ok, so for 2nd team.. ideal setup one of each ranged?

shaman - dps
shaman - dps
mage - dps
druid - heals?
warlock - dps?

fifth slot i'd have to make a caster, since that is the warrior which i dun really want to box. so am open to whatever.. other 4 i already have at lvl 80. warlock for dps? priest for buffs/heals? (been hearing priests are a pain to manage 10box).. another mage for dps? another shaman for dps/heals?
