I am going to 5-box the level grind and hopefully my BiS blues.

My main is a hunter. I've been punching through forums here looking to find an optimal comp to do this. I suppose my first question...

Anyone level 1-60 with a 5 man group or a 4 man + healer group and then do BiS? Is it even possible?

Assuming the answer is negative, so I'm thinking of just doing Warrior / Priest / Mage / Mage / Hunter. I'm assuming that by not having the 3rd Mage in the comp you are really hindering your ability to AoE down the dungeons. So the only benefit I see now is single targeting and this comp gives me a lot of CC to do so.

If I can't AoE then am I just better off dropping the 2nd Mage for another hunter or filling in a Warlock?

Thoughts?

On the other side of the coin, is a melee cleave type group and just go something like 3 Warriors / Hunter / Priest better than the ranged DPS alternative with Mages?

I don't want my comp struggling to level-up but my priority in this is to get BiS pre-raid through the higher tier dungeons. Specifically on the hunter and warrior.

Thanks!
