Invincible PVE Group (A New Twist on a Classic)

I like that you're experimenting.
And if it works for you, and is fun, that is what counts.

Double healer, with some DPS from the heals is a different approach.

I know people have done double healer, for heroics or new content anyway when they're gear is comparatively lacking.

I've been playing so many mixed teams the last couple of months, and dealing with a lot of headaches to get things to work, that this team almost plays itself.

I geeked out when I realized backup dps is viable. I was laughing all morning as I tested them out in different heroics.

Plus I wanted to make the simplest to play, hardest to kill, heroic group I could. I missed out on a couple months of WoTLK because I had to level up 3 teams to make one that was capable of doing heroics. Just stupid mistakes that I didn't realize I had made until I hit 70s and 80s.

I want to avoid that with 85 and figured others might as well. I can't think of a better combo for learning new content and game mechanics with, at least not yet and this has been bothering me for about a month.

Once the new strats are down I can add in other classes or group combos.

Some data to report. I'm still geeking out. I completed Heroic Nexus without a death or using any healing macros. I just spammed my riptide/dps/tanking keybinding, or '2' for the entire instance. No one needed healing.

The healers don't have the same range as the dps, which is frustrating relearning how far to pull mobs in. And they aren't using dps glyphs which I'm going to change. So I'm still tweaking the dps numbers but here's my recount data:

elem shaman 970882 (3602.8, 33.9%)
balance druid 750979 (3175.0, 26.2%)
Paladin tank 623387 (2196.6, 21.7%)
resto shaman 266551 (1023.9, 9.3%)
resto shaman 248007 (925.4, 8.6%)

It feels like I'm rolling with my BM Hunter who has a 3k gs, mostly quest blues and some heroic drops. But, and this part I love, I no longer have to heal. Granted I'm outgearing everything, but even outgeared you usually heal a little. The HOL and Nexus bosses with aoe attacks don't require healing anymore.

And I did the Anomolous achievement (guy in Nexus spl?) without a single healing macro. Just spammed button '2' (button 1 is my avenging shield pull) for the entire fight.
