Ok, I have a 70 lock with ~800 +dmg, spec'd demonology (20/41/0). 10k hp, 7k mana. Also have a 68 Ele Shaman for my shaman group.

All instances until 42 (end of SM) are going to be EZ-mode. Will a lock be able to take on ZF solo? BRD? Scholo I know I can't... I take out the first two groups, and fail on the third. This was with SL/SL spec though. If I go in through the service enterance, will I have better luck? Are the pulls from there less stacked?

Next question being, I'm setting up my series of accounts (dual-boxing as of Friday, next will be tri, then quint). Anyhow, I'm guessing tri will be within a month, and quint in 3 months. Should I roll a prot pally or a mage for the upper level boosting? IE Scholo.
