5-boxing, dungeon runs.

Thanks for the info guys.

Few questions:
If I run 4 shamen. Will 4 healing totems be enough for trash in dungs/HCs or will a healer still be needed ful time?
For that matter will 1 or 2 be effective at all.

If the totems arent that great I might go for something like a:
1) Tankadin
2) Disc Priest (shields up)
3) Shammy, Mage and boomkin for DPS.
All 3 DPSs can be macroed so DPS rotations shouldnt be an issue. (SHould the boomkin be in there or should I make it a hunter)?

In this setup:
- tank tanks
- priest heals with shammy offhealing for big incoming damage.
- for low healing needs the 4 of them can all DPS.

My only worry is that 5 different classes might be too much for my virgin full leveling run, in which case back to the 1 pally and 4 shammies or 1pally, priest and shammies.

You will need a dedicated healer, 4 healing totems wont do much at all. The trash in cata dungeons are tougher then the bosses half the time.

Disc Priest is a horrible choice for boxing in my opinion. If you use your priest as the master it should work, but if your tank is the master you ought to stick with restro shaman.

I ended up with only 4 accounts myself. but decided to go with 1 pally, 2 hunters and a mage, I then dungeon with a random healer. (The team originally started out as a 4-hunter PVP team and changed to a pve team) Often that healer is thrilled to have a group where the tank is slow, the dps is controlled, the pets never growl and there is no drama. In return I get a dedicated healer so I do not have to watch over that aspect of my group, and should I end up with a poor or stupid healer I can easily vote them out of the group.

I sometimes debate going to 5 accounts, but having the healing slot open has turned out to be a good thing generally. Tho I am having trouble staying alive in Cata dungeons even with a good healer.
