warri - 3 ret - holy pala vs warri - 3 rogues - holy pala

[nodoze]

Personally I would not even consider running the 1st team at all unless I had my own Mage on a 6th account (or as an alt on one of my 5 accounts) as having to buy water will greatly dilute your profits (pun intended).

Much discussion has been made that Rogues are squishy and hard for multi-boxers to optimize with the general recommendations being to go with at most one Rogue in your MB party (and driving from that Rogue). Maybe a Sword Spec with some assumptions on timing of combat points helps mitigate those concerns (don't really know).

If I had to choose from one of those teams, absent my own pocket mage, I would definately choose option 2. Even if I had a pocket mage, option 2 may be significantly better if the Rogues can be kept alive and their DPSs reasonably optimized (or at least salvaged).

That above being said, with the goals you articulated on a PVE server and your apparent comfort with melee-based teams, I would do neither team and instead do 4 Warriors+Healer (Priest or Paladin/Shaman depending on Faction). Since the reasoning behind this recommenation has been discussed multiple times already I respectfully recommend you read here:
