Valid points.
Personally on my 60 Mage I got 2 Frost Resistance rings and got down the SM Cath pull/farm and frankly absolutely hated doing it. I actually fell asleep multiple times and it just felt crappy to me so I stopped watching the AH for Nature Resist rings and didn't even try to learn the other 1pulls as that play-style is just not fun for me...
I do however very much enjoy multi-boxing and working with complex solutions. I also like to theorycaft and daydream solutions to conundrums (and often have fresh ideas when I wake up). I do that professionally at work (I used to be CIO then was CTO but these days am now more a brain-on-a-stick Systems Architect / Solutions Architect) and like to do it in my hobbies also and think it is in my DNA (my dad and grandpa were the same way).
In my case I have more than enough hardware and cables already onsite and classes (at least for Paladin+3Locks+Priest/Paladin plus single 60 mage on my 6th account for free 55 water/food/ports/instance-resets already) so there is no additional expense on my end.
I do agree that 4Hunters+Healer may indeed be the best option overall but would have to level a new team and am not up for that right now.
