Viable 5 man melee setups for PvP

Don't forget to pre-HoT yourself, too. Regrowth/rejuv before a pull helps quite a lot to pick up initial threat.

Since you have a main tank you could probably even go ret on one of your paladins. The main reason to have two healers in the group is to keep up with the damage split between your warriors. If most of the damage is going to be on your druid in dungeons there's no real reason to have two healers. Could just build a traditional dungeon group with tank, 3 DPS and a healer.

Thanks! Your input really helps with Theory Crafting & planning! My brother really likes to play his Paladin as either Prot or Ret or an aggressive cross of the two. What spec would you recommend for both Paladins in that scenario (I think we already have several healing specs so really the Ret one is the one we would need the most).

The same holy/prot spec is fine for your main healer: https://classicdb.ch/?talent#sVxurg0xVGLI0z

I actually have no idea what a good PvE ret spec is. Never played ret in vanilla. Something like: https://classicdb.ch/?talent#sxVzZxGZVfcxbfV

Have a look around on Google though, I'm just guessing. Best spec might also be a little different for boxing since (IMO) you'll definitely want the 2 points in Guardian's Favor to have as much uptime on freedom for your warriors as possible.

Thanks! I am pretty sure both of the specs I had planned on running have Guardian's Favor and pretty sure at least one of the options I was going to try had full points in improved Blessing of Might in case I want to run with that as one of the 2 Blessings on my 3 DPS (or Tank and 3 DPS).
