We use a tri healer double warrior setup and it works quite well, though admittedly I don't think we'd be nearly as highly rated if 4dps teams weren't so popular. Tri healer counters quite a lot of 4dps teams.

Most 5v5 teams rely on coordinating their crowd control, silences, and interrupts. We gained about 150 points when we changed our strategy from "lets see what they have, try to purge some buffs off, and figure out who we'll focus". All this really did is let the other team work out their poly/fear rotations.

Our new strategy is "click sweeping strikes gogogogo" and charge in, forcing them to be purely reactive with their crowd control. This takes a lot of the pressure off of me. I still blow up fairly easily though, and I think this change will probably be just enough to keep me up in situations where I would otherwise have died.
