    In BFA the current meta is highly mobile melee comps because melee get short cooldown kicks and a lot of abilities cannot be interrupted on bossses so constant movement is ideal.

    Of course BM is very popular right now. As are the melee with utility like DH and Rogue. Elemental shaman is a standout for casters who are otherwise ignored.

    If you intend to step into BFA M+ scene expect a very challenging end game. You may or may not like it. Personally it isn't my thing.
    Hmm that sounds very different from Wotlk/Cata etc. Not good...I considered Classic but my worry there is at 60 there isn't a whole ton to do for 5 man groups is there? Not a ton of dungeons to gear up etc without raiding.

    Its tough trying to find a team that works well in BfA.

    I have the most fun on my 5 BM Hunter team, but its not for pushing, cannot time high keys. I try to get a good +2 or +3 key that I can easily time +3. That part is fun, hunters are great that far. The resulting +5 or +6 key can be completed, just not in time and with a few dozen deaths, but it eventually gets done. Not sure that part sounds fun.

    I've tried a few different trinity setups, but I haven't been very successful with them. My highest key was with a trinity but highest timed key was with 5 tanks.

    Edit: I don't play this season and little last season, things could have changed.

    BRD is IMO the best dungeon the WoW team ever made. Though really there isn't much else beyond it. Upper Blackrock Spire? Maybe that's enough? Shrug.

    Yes, retail is an entirely different animal than what the game used to be. Dungeons are now e-sport contests. Everything is movement, coordination and cooldown usage. A nightmare scenario for multiboxers and well that's that.

    Maybe just IMO but I think the near future is a dual box setup with things like M+ and Raiding reserved for solo boxing. If that makes you happy.

    Instead of classic, you could xp-lock your team at 85 and do all the Cata heroics, then xp-lock again at 90, etc. There is quite a lot of content to enjoy on the way to 120. For example the 3-man Pandaren scenarios can be quite a challenge (when at appropriate level) when most of them are designed for the players to be spread out doing different things.
