Everyone enjoys different things.

Only using 3 accounts, I've enjoyed playing 3 retris as an all melle team for questing since they have some decent self healing etc, you dont have that much downtime, you do have a proc of instant exorcism that you would want to use for oprimal dps though, check Elitistjerks for more info.

A Paladin tank is a good tank for multiboxing I think, you can have a simplified cast sequence rotation or tanking, which wont be optimal, but will work.

The basic rotation atm is 939, so just hitting 2 buttons alternativly to tank will do a decent job.

Button 1: Crusader strike
Button 2: /castsequence reset=combat Judgement, Avenger's shield, Shield of Righteousness

Don't macro it myself, but something like that should work pretty decent, won't work properly because sometimes Avenger's shield wont be off cooldown, that's when you should be using holy wrath although it does proc pretty often that you get an extra cast from the Grand Crusader talent. You can find out more from Maintankadin.

Pretty sure warriors and Druids are more based on procs than palas or deathknights. So if you are looking at doing boxing 5 man isntances you should look into getting a DK or Paladin tank.

Personally only done Prot pala + Resto shammy combo up to level 80 heroics with 3 friends doing dps.
And holy priest Blood DK up to level 75 with 3 dps friends.

Since this thread was posted I have gotten back to one of my teams that has a warrior as the tank. As protlover said, warriors are more proc based than paladins. My warrior does a lot more damage at the same level than my paladin but there are so many procs that can't be macro'd.

I tried setting up isboxer to just cycle through several procs each time I release the "1" button but I screwed it up somehow and it ended up getting broadcast to every toon, not just the warrior. I don't care about optimal dps, so long as the tank is holding aggro. I'm sure there must be a way to simplify warrior tanking with isboxer, I just haven't figured it out yet.

I've just started... well am configuring... a group of five pallies.
Not sure I will play them far, but have wanted 5x Shockadins for a while.

I really like heals also heal each pally.
And heal your Beacon target.
Should be lots of passive heals, for healing others.
And then bubbles and five healers.

Plus get to experience Cataclysm leveling content as a horde from level 1 up.
I've not leveled too many horde toons.
Doubt they'll be interesting from 1st to 85th.
Will probably do it in three or four spurts.
