do you guys max 2 professions on your toons for the bonuses? Or would that just cost way too much to be worth it?

All melee is gonna be a bitch. Valiona and theralion - which is the 2nd boss in whats 'considered' the entry raid in cata - requires you to move a lot, spread out, stack ... with a rather short enrange timer. The impossible can be done, boxers showed that in the past, but that were only a handful. But you said you have *just raided icc*. What does that mean? As in boxed icc or as in solo'd it with weekly pug and did 4-5 bosses? Or did you beat hard modes? Etc ... No disrespect, but raiding in cata works slightly different than raiding icc.
The best advice i can give you is to spend an hour or 2 watching cata raid videos on ytube. That will give you a good idea if it's possible or not. Better do that than level up 10 toons and realize you are screwed.
Everything that is fun in life is either bad for your health, immoral or illegal!
I am ready to see the movies of it
I don't suffer from Schizophrenia, I enjoy every moment of it !
@zenga My only raid experience were solo on my war tank. Never made it past gunship. I will watch vids and study as much as i can. Im not worried about leveling toons and then i cant use them, ill be making 40 alchemists so i can use them anyway. Plus im going to level 15 or so casters/rdps/heals to tweak my line up as needed. @bloodcloud I will certainly be recording and posting my attempts for everyone to laught at and learn from (as in now i know not to use 16 melee dps).
I'd start smaller... maybe play 4 ranged dps in a 10man to get a feel for the cata raids. Then go to 2 tanks + 6DPS + 2 Heals (1 of the dps ready to go healing if you need 3).
im also thinking of having a balance druid that can tank in case i needed 3 tanks in 10man. Also which tank combo would be best? For 10 im thinking DK/Bear. What would be best for 25? 2 DK/ 1 bear, or 1 DK/ 2 bear? War tank is my fav but evidently too hard for boxing and i dont like pally tanks.
as far as tanks, if you are going to run 3, use a DK, Bear and Pally, that way whatever drops will be useful for some type of tank, and pallys are really easy to macro and just let them go, they are still great aoe tanks for pulling trash and off tanking, the 3 different types of tanking are going to be DK which is a avoidance tank, with all the extra parry and dodge, or a migitation (sp) tank, which will be warriors and pallys, they can negate alot of damage through their build and gear, talents, etc. or a bear tank which just has a huge health pool.
each has it's own advantages and disadvantages, but i would suggest if you are going to run 3 tanks, dk pally and bear, if only 2 i'd use dk and pally personally. but that's just my two cents.
Let them hate, as long as they fear.
thanks for the help. Ill run dk, pally and bear for 25 but with 10 ill start with dk and bear and see what happens. Switch out bear for pally if needed. I think the last thing i need answered is if you guys max out 2 profs on the toons you raid with? I know it would be expensive but if it gave me enough of an advantage it would be worth it to me.
with the idea of a mostly melee team, would it help at all to mix in ele shammies and ret pallies to help with the healing or would their heals be too weak to make a difference?
Best thing you can do, doommachine, is stop spamming the forums with all kinds of help requests and go out and play a PvE team to L85. Then you'll have a better feel for what you're doing and what you're up against, multi-boxing-wise.
I think we all try to be helpful, but you're asking a ton of questions from the perspective of a complete novice. You're not going to plan the entire "25-man raid" thing out before you get started. Get some experience, then ask good questions based off that experience...
