Interesting to hear the Ret-paladin come up here as a more serious alternative to a holy-paladin or a warrior. I like the thought of two sub-optimal speccs possibly complimenting eachother very well. If I can find one I'll be sure to try it out. Otherwise I guess I'll go with the warrior for MS -> burst target dead.

I tried grouping with an elemental shaman a little, and didn't really like it. I ended up, as stated by someone, kited, and the elemental got his ass whopped. Yes, frost-mages will lock down two melees, but frost mages thoroughly humiliate me already no matter what. I'm not sure a BoF would help much against a smart (read: spellstealing) mage anyway. I see the point about resilience having a large impact on ret-paladin and enhancement-shaman in terms of longevity. Will be interesting to see how much it's noticable if I find myself a retty.

Thanks for your input guys.

Now, onto a followup question: I've always been dualwielding thinking that while a two-hander could provide some serious burst, the amount of that burst didn't negate the loss that is stormstrike and more frequent pushbacks. However, lately I've seen more and more of my fellow totemstompers run around with the crafted two-handers (the mace being the most popular for obvious reasons). And their damage isn't that bad really. Given that I'm likely to group with a Ret-paladin, or MS-warrior... which do you guys see working the best?
