Flavor of the Month

1. What group composition are you currently using and why?
I'm still in RAF with my 5 accounts, so I am levelling a few different teams with the plan to mix and match once I'm done, to make some good fun PVE 5 man teams.
So currently:
1 - Paladin Tank, Shaman Healer, Hunter, Mage, Boomkin
2 - Warrior Tank, D. Priest Healer, Ele Shaman, Ele Shaman, Ele Shaman
3 - Monk Tank, 4x MW Monk Healer/Melee DPS (Going to switch 2 to WW, this team is to help my learning how to melee-iwt)
Have 2 more planned, so I have a tank and healer of each class

a. Someone may say "well that depends on what do you want to do". So what do you do with the team you have?
I'm all about PVE, never been much of a PVP player. I used to love soloing old instances/raids, now I can kinda do the same with current(ish) content by "5man soloing".

b. I see folks with teams as small as 3 mans, and guys like Sam playing 28 man teams. Other than being able to one shot someone, what compels you to get more and more power?
5 is enough for me at the moment, having the setup to get into Dungeon Finder is all that I'm really concerned with.

2. I see alot of DK's, Mages, Priests, Shamans, and Pallys in todays streams and youtube videos.
a. does priest bubble, renew and healing damage make them the best healers in movement intensive mechanics?
So far, I'm finding Disc Priest to be an awesome healer. Ability to do good DPS while healing is 2nd to none (at least so far)

b. Is it practical to box hunters? They seem like a jack of all trades class.
I've done a team of 3 hunters up to about lv25, but I dumped it in favor of 5man teams, not being able to get into DF annoyed me.

c. Are Mages and DK's desired for their cool-downs and ability to damage on the move?
Dunno, I think Shammy cooldowns rock. Heroism and Elementals spam is awesome!

3. What makes a good minimum effort - maximum output group for PVP and PVE group?
a. For PVE didn't this used to = 1 Pally, 1 Restro Shaman, 3 elemental shaman?
If I wanted to start again, the easiest I'd guess is: Paladin Tank, Disc Priest Healer, Mage, Ele Shaman, Hunter.
They seem very easy to use in a mb setup.
