Greetings everyone,

Im pondering coming out of WoW retirement to get back into cataclysm, i hear generally good things about it, i ran around it with my druid for a few the other day and it seemed interesting enough to go for it again.

But i have a dilemma now. I have pretty much each class at level 80, minus a DK, and i have multiple shamans at 80. Most are ICC geared, but the issue i am facing right now is what to use as my tank.

I have a Warrior and a Paladin, both of which i have no issues with, and do not prefer one over the other. Im curious to know from the current teams running Paladins or Warriors, what the feel is would be fit for say the following team combination.

My original team was a Paladin, 3 Shaman (2 Ele/1 Resto), and 1 Boomkin, which i enjoyed.

My secondary team was a Warrior, Priest, Warlock, Mage, Hunter.

I was pondering going Warrior/Paladin, Ele Shaman, Boomkin, Priest, Mage. I am still having a hard time determining what tank to use or if i should stick to my ele shamans boomkin setup for ease. Would there be an particular reason to choose a paladin over a warrior or vis verse (in your opinions), as i do not know ins and outs of all the class changes, and i falling 10 months behind in the Theorycrafting to determine a preference just yet.
