What's the easiest 2-man team to level?

I agree with Sam, level up your own tank/healer combo. Those two make up the group for dungeons when you get ready to run them. Pally tanks are easiest and have the best survival rate for tanks, macro management is simple. I just posted a new /castsequence setup on the Macro section you can look at under the Ret setup thread. Healer is a player choice/preference. My only healer is a priest that I have let go since Cata came out, but will pick back up. Druids are best for mobility. If you're gonna stick to dual-boxing by the time you hit 85, you can gear up the two to run raids and advertise/sell your services for off/main tanking raids once you're good enough. Tell them you will supply your own healer and you wont' have to worry about healing the other players in the raid. With this setup, ques in randoms will also be instant. If you put your healer on /follow and run as a slave, learn how to set up the repeater regions if using ISBoxer and use either Healbot or Clique for healing instead of setting up macros for targeting group/raid members. Makes healing alot easier this way. Dps can be found with no problem, tanks and healers are far and few between. Especially finding ones that won't give you problems. Even old world content can be ran with just a tank and healer combo. May take longer, but is manageable. My first team was a Disc Priest leading 3 hunters through dungeons. Bear tanks bounced aggro around and I healed them with Healbot on my main. Outside of instances on quests, healer just drove them around with little healing to be done.

Ya healer is player choice but I am thinking restro shaman as chain heal always hits the right guys who need it the most, riptide and earth shield take no skill. Priest and Druid (with the offtank ability of Druid as stated) are good of course but chain heal is the winner to my mind. Why make complicated grids and require you to determine who has the lowest health when chain heal does it for you?

If you only run 2 then ya healing maximization would be easy with the priest, but if you plan and 5 or 10 boxing the ease of the shaman is best (although a circle of healing priest will work also).

Where it eventually all comes down to if you want to focus on tanking/healing an instance or not. The waiting times for the LFD for dps are like 5 minutes for me.

So if you're just starting off with boxing, just dpsing sounds like a nice and simple option. I did the same with shaman. The gap between boxing just dps and a healer + tank is quite massive.
