What would you do....?

I got a side little project that I am working on currently that will take some time, so in the meantime, I decided to pose this question to you (and only you as your probably my only reader):

With everything else taken care of (money, hardware, software, macros), what kind of multibox team/teams would you create in WoW?

For PVE, what would you choose? Generally in this setup, you want to have the "holy trinity", which is a tank, healer, and DPS. 3 different classes is a good base to start off with, but it's a mere guideline and doesn't necessarily have to be the rule.

Would you make a somewhat diverse team like mine, capable of doing instances? Maybe you would put a spin on it, and say, make a Warrior, shaman, and 3x warlocks? You could even make 5 druids, spec 1 feral, 1 resto, and 3 balance and get the damn near the same result. Maybe a druid and 4x shaman?

Now for PVP, what would it be? PVP is generally fast paced and relies on high burst damage, so you generally don't want to bring a lot of different classes as it would be hard to co-ordinate them all. 2 classes at most, but again, more of a guideline than a rule.

You can go for the clone army look and make them all the same class? If so, which class? Most of the DPS classes can output insane damage when stacked, just take a look at any of the shaman video's out there. Stacking 5x mages would bring you incredible single target DPS, while 5x warlocks have a bit more flexibility with dots and pets. You could always try 5x shadow priests, or 5x hunters :). Maybe through in a melee, like a warrior, and back him up with mages or locks? Hell, you could always respec your all druid PVE team and make them all Boomkin.

Anyways, leave a comment or post on your own blog what you would do if you multiboxed 5 accounts!

For PvE, I quite enjoy your Paladin tank, 3 AoE DPS and healer setup. You can breeze through instances and it makes farming mobs for gold, rep or drops very simple.

A funny one to see would be a 5-man Druid setup: a bear tank, a cat DPS, 2 boomkin DPS and a tree healer. Not a single humanoid or squid in the team!

For PvP, any other than an Elemetal Shaman team, because it has been done to death! Between watching all 5 (or 4 if there is a healer) unleash their NS+LB at the same time every 2 minutes, there really isn't much to see :(

Besides hitting lv 70, after that I think I might lend some more focus towards my hunters.

I want to be there, on opening day of the expansion, running round EPL with a bunch of Devilsaurs to feed.

And what will I be feeding them? Why, gnome death knights, of course :P

It seems with the focus on party buffs, a shadow priest would come in handy, although their playstyle is not exactly tuned for ease of multi-boxing.

I like the idea of 5 affliction warlocks in PvP. Lots of CC available and a seriously powerful 5x dot rotation seems like it could wreak havoc in a BG.

I play a tri-boxing, with the following setups:
- 3 shamans
- Paladin, Druid (resto), Warlock
- Priest, 2 hunters

Well, team B and C still low level, then obsviously my favorite yet still shamans, nothing like 3 Chain Lightning critting in a row and a chance of being a double!

But, I am already loving team B, having a specific tank, makes everything easier, even at lower levels.

Shamans: PvP (BGs, Arena, World PvP) and Dailies.
Paladin + Any team: Farming, Dailies, Instances.
Any Healer + Hunters: PvP, Dailies
