Coming back!!! Hell yea!!!

Before you undertake this I want you to understand the reprocussions if your main goal is PVP (to be fully geared, and competing in arena). You want every class to be able to adapt on the fly namely for arena i take it.

Having 10 accounts is more a burden than a blessing unless you plan to keep all 6 groups geared. Hell keeping all 6 groups geared is going to be hard even with 5 of each unless you currently are un-employed and do not wish to push rating with any particular composition. The amount of arena wins per week would be about 10 per team at 1500 rating or below and this would take you approximately 20-24 weeks to get fully geared in which the season will be almost over and any advantage you might have gear wise by playing a particular composition is gone and those who have t2 in 3's and whatnot who are bored and doing 5's will give you more trouble than its worth normally. You have a leg up once a season and that is with your ability to focus fire and getting t1 weps before many people seem to get theirs.

I understand you want to raid and all of that. But mixing and matching from a PVP standpoint the way you want (minus AV and IoC) can be accomplished with one group of each in multiples of 5. If you have 10 accounts and 10 of each type of character to gear it is going to get overwhelming and honestly if you don't get burnt out within a month I'd be surprised.

I am doing something similar so I can't say it is a bad idea in general... just doing it with 10 opposed to 5 is a lot of work. Also have to take into account time it might take less viable comps to actually get their weekly wins etc. The one thing I will say is that 5 boxing to a high rating is going to be a bit more difficult than having a reliable and skilled healer plus your 4 toons (for 5's at least).

I suggest having a focus team you wish to master and leveling/gearing the rest at a different pace. I've been doing it in 3's single boxing and dual-boxing for the most part and I can tell you from experience maintaining high rating and getting geared at a good pace can take time and dedication. Luckily enough I was able to sit 2200 rating the first week of this past two seasons which helped eleviate a lot of stress and allowed me to focus on 5's for rating/points for my main team but keeping my 3 rets geared this past season required LFR, PVP etc and one of them still doesn't have their 2200 weapon. I also have a set of shaman and two warriors I just couldn't bring myself to play because of the time investment to gear them in honor gear before even starting on arena.

All in all I just wanted to point out the time investment and sacrifice you'd be making and how it will hault overall success/speed of success competitively to do it in that manner. You'll have support from people but please don't kill yourself doing it

Thanks Shodokan for the warning, I know this is not going to be easy.
In order to not burn myself out I will only attempt to get higher ratings in arena with one team of 5s.
With all the others I will just do it for points. That way I can keep it casual and sane.
The first season in MoP I will mostly likely only have a couple of teams ready so my plan is longer term.
I used to always be very impatient in WoW, not doing anything unless it had instant rewards, that didn't work out very well.
So I want to take it slow and plan it properly, while keeping a casual schedule.
It will work out, you will see.

Thats my same plan. To have 2 teams s1, 4 teams s2, 5-6 teams s3.

Getting alot of toons to high level isn't so tough, its just gearing them all up that is the tough part.

If you only really care about having the toons available if Blizzard buffs or nerfs a certain class, then your plan sounds like a solid one. You would only have the two main teams to keep geared and the rest could just sit, and only get geared up if you need them.

just to add my 2cents. When I came back 6 months ago, I jumped from 5boxing to 7boxing. Limited by my computer. I tried 8, but it wasn't happening in TB.
I run, HPally, RShaman, Hpriest, and 4DK. Like many, in Cata I had 4Ele Shammys, I had the 4Ret+1DK, and some other various experiments. I love outdoor pvp. The past few months, I login, check the TB timer, note it, come back later. I do a handful of instances for mounts, and that's it until MOP.
To my point. I think you should consider 4healer, 6dps when 10boxing AV or Isle. You want to take on 30+, you need the heals for it. Adding 2 healers to my team, insane boost in TB. My dps is the same, I just outlast them all. I have easily taken on 3x my team in TB.
Areans, not so much lol. I am just average, I have been hovering 1500-1600s. I try not to take it to seriously, always for points/ gear.
I am have been kicking myself. I saw someone post their pvp video, think it was a 10boxer. He had like 4 druids healing his DKs. Looked sick. I don't think my Rshammy and Hpriest are the best choices, but I am going to make it work in MOP. I just don't want to level up or xfer another toon anymore.

Yea I'm defintely going to experiment with multiple healers. 4 might be too much but 3 are probably good.
