It would seem a no-brainer to re-spec my priest holy in that case, but he has very crude + heal gear atm and I've been so stuck on keeping him dmg for pvp that its hard to consider switching him back to holy, but he may have to take one for the team. Since I'm considering rolling a pali tank for this project, maybe I'll roll a holy priest too *shudder* . Holy priest party heals seem like would be the best idea for multi boxing. I think that trumps the benefits of single target heals of pali or druid , but I may be wrong about that. Can someone comment why they would think another healing class other then a priest would be better for a pve multi-box team?
Since you already have a lvl 70 tank and priest, I'd respec holy and start with those two. A mage is very handy for AoE/ports/vending, lock for soulstone/pets, and shaman for totems/chain lit/heal. I don't think you can go wrong with any combination of those three, athough 3 of the same would be easiest to handle.
As for another healing class outside a priest, I thought a 2x paladin / 3x dps set would be fun. A great AoE tank combined with extra aura & buffs from a fantastic single target healer, followed by.. 3 shaman for totems & chain lit/heals. All 5 would be in mail or plate, so very little squishiness.
