Currently doing 5s on EU-Vindication and we're the rank 8 team. The setup we're playing is Disc, Resto Shaman, Mage, Rogue and me as the Warrior. The main issues we faced were vs Warlock teams, where the our initial aggressive smoke bomb tactic failed.

Eventually we realised that once the weaker teams had passed, a mindless tactic was not going to work. The idea to split the dps, with me riding the warlock to prevent his UA while the mage and rogue would be putting out immense pressure worked like a charm. Without UA, the healers were free to dispel and keep the melee mobile and we climbed up and broke the 2k barrier :).

On a side note though, Lock/Elemental/Mage/Restodruid/x is one very powerful comp. The druid is mainly there as a Cyclone bot, and risks of dispelling UA and Flame Shock are just too much. Plus the difficulty for melee to pin down the Shaman or the Mage. Any thoughts on that?

Keep writing these articles sir. 5v5 Arena is the only thing keeping me in WoW, till my sub runs out end of this month.
