I've been Playing too much over the Holiday Weekend

Started a new team, having way to much fun playing it, I literally dozed off for a few seconds at my keyboard and ran my entire time into the lava in RFC with a fresh 2 hour Onyxia buff on everyone.

you lucky, i've been anxious to play but unable. I keep catching myself contemplating how to go about best restarting my classic teams if i decide to RaF a new set of accounts for retail, but i'm too busy to log on.

After trying out every 5 man mixed combination of warrors + shaman know to man , I've finally found something that is making me really enjoy playing a melee cleave team. All it took was swapping out one of the warriors for a Feral Bear Druid. Blowing through the same stuff in Wailing Caverns and SFK that i struggled with at the same lvls on the pure warrior/shaman teams and the Druid on top of the Druid being more interesting to pilot the team from because of all it's versatility.

Glad you are having fun. I have really enjoyed my Paladin + 3Warlocks + Priest combo. 20+ has been all AoE with Rain of Fire/Consecration and now doing Hellfire/Consecration and really liking it.

Whats it like trying to heal 3 locks all using Hellfire at once? Just need a few AoE heals from your priest? I think you said you were using a 60 pally so don't have to worry about any of the locks pulling aggro.

Healing is real easy with a Priest's 'Prayer of Healing' AoE heal. I do sometimes have a little trouble at the end of longer fights if I have to HellFire twice with my Priest going OOM but thankfully my Paladin can easily top off each Lock with quick Flashes of Light.

I switch from Retribution Aura to Concentration Aura so that Healer and Tank (who does single target healing) have no pushback on their healing. When I respec'ed my Warlocks at 30 I almost did their Destruction tree first so they would be immune to pushback and get +20% range on their AoE (& daze mobs) but instead decided to focus on getting them the -20% aggro and -30% damage from the Demonology tree first.

My hypothesis is that with a static -50% aggro the Warlocks shouldn't have any of the traditional Warlock issues with Aggro even when the whole team is 60 and geared.

I am also really liking having the 60 Mage on my 6th account for easy instance resets and water/food and having Warlocks on my team to summon my main back when I want to grind dungeons. I dreaded repairing and vendoring on my melee team but with locks it is great that everyone can go to town and get right back.

I also really like only drinking on my tank & healer due to life-tapping on the locks. There is no downtime as they are done drinking way before I can finish looting everything.
