Even if it just did the same damage to a single target this team will be amazing. Absolutely amazing.
It isn't the AOE, it is the range. That is what makes HB insane. The AoE is superflous to the fact that it is ranged. The biggest difficulty you will run into with a melee team is keeping everyone on the target against above average players. It isn't easy with the way IWT works. The fact a big chunk of your DPS can be dealt at 30 yards is what makes HB insane and what makes the DKs as in my estimation what will be quite possibly the best PvP team at Cata launch.
