1. Do you have any Shadow Priests in your raid? Does it help to have one, for added Warlock DPS?
We currently have one. A Shadow Priest who is willing to be flexible and play in a hybrid fashion is of great use IMO. Apart from contributing decent DPS, Shadow Weaving is great for the warlocks, and VE saves a lot of spot healing.
Having said that, I would consider it highly unwise to ever take more than 1 on a raid.
2. Do you have any Bear Tanks? Do they tank raid bosses?
No, and no.
3. Do you have any Cats? Would you take a Cat over a Rogue? Why (not)?
No. No, I wouldn't. They have neither the DPS nor the threat control to justify taking a rogue spot.
4. Do you have any Moonkin? Does the +3% spellcrit aura compensate for the lower DPS?
We do sometimes. A well played moonkin in a group with 4 mages is a decent investment. You may not get as much DPS total, but you get 4 happy mages :-)
5. Do you have any Protection Paladins? Do they actually tank Big Stuff?
Horde.
6. Do you have any non-healing Shamans? What do they do? (I'm alliance, no experience with Shamans, but felt I had to include them here)
Yeah, we have a number of non-resto shammies. One enhancement and a couple elemental I think. Again, it comes back to playstyle. If they're willing to heal where necessary, they're good to have on board.
7. Or do you think any or even all of the above are ridiculous, and you should never have one of these in your raid?
The only non-standard build I really despise are feral druids. As far as I'm concerned they just don't offer anything that other classes can't do much better. I'm not hugely keen on Moonkin either, but they get points for being hilarious and making funny sounds.
