Thanks for the advice folks, it's really welcomed.
I really appreciate this well thought out response because it fills in a lot of knowledge gaps I have in the why and how stacking 5x is effective, but it definitely parallels the sentiment I've gotten this weekend while looking into multiboxing in WoW. The idea of loot dropping and being tradable if you have an upgrade is something I had no idea about (and being personal in the first place), but really motivates stacking 5x of a class.
If you can forgive me for pushing back a little just to fill more gaps in my knowledge:
1. The idea of stacking DPS and simply burning the boss before it kills everyone is foreign to me. It's been a decade since I played WoW, but has individual survivability really gotten so strong that you can just sort of ball up, avoid their telegraphed attacks and survive a boss without a dedicated tank + healer pumping heals into them? Or do typical box groups try to simply outgear content and a group of real players at a given ilvl will attempt much harder dungeons than a box crew?
I've been watching a lot of vids on multiboxing, would you say that this is pretty typical with a relatively complete group with a skilled player doing hard content, where clearly the hunters are able to burn the boss, keep mobs focused on their pets (and they survive) and avoid the boss's telegraphed damage?

2. What do you (and anyone else) think of @Chibilukina's success with a 2dru/3 hunter group?
Has Chibilukina simply worked harder than he would've needed to had he stacked 5x of one class to achieve what he has? Or does he have a really critical set of synergies within his makeup that make it superior in some way? Or was he simply playing classes that were relatively OP?
I think at this point I'd like to play, because it looks really fun and interesting, but really can't come back to WoW without returning to my priest, but don't want to play some gimpy group that gets gear slowly just because I'm attached to my priest.
