So last night I ran with my 2v2 and 5v5 team. We only got in 2 games on the 2v2 team but we went 2-0 (We beat a Shadowpriest/Mage and Rogue/Rogue combo).
On the 5v5 team we went 4-6. We lost to burn teams with one healer. Our 5v5 make up is:
Resto Druid, Holy Paladin, Warrior, Shadow Priest, MM/SV Hunter.
We do fine against other 2 healer teams but lose miserably to burst DPS teams with lock/mage/warrior. One team with a Shaman just ripped us apart. His DPS was awesome, he had totems everywhere and purged every single buff we had. I tried to rank1 MF the totems while healing and CC'ing.
But here's the problem I see with Resto Druids in 5v5. It's extremely hard to keep up with burst damage with only HOTs AND extremely difficult to kite and CC at the same time. Two warriors on me and I am toast in 3 seconds. In one game our hunter went down before I had time to hit my NS/HT macro.
Maybe when 2.3 comes out resto druids will be a tad more viable (as will our hunter) in 5v5s but as it stands now we really have much CC compared to teams with locks/mages, etc.
I think in 2.3 my 2v2 team will be more viable (and we've since added a warrior to try and boost the rating a tad) but in 5v5 I think we'll never get above 1600 (which is where we're at now).
Please note I do know my gear is sub-par. I was thinking of farming honor S3 starts so I can get the S1 gear until I can complete it with my S3 gear.
Also, any thoughts on what weapon I should be using until I can buy the arena healing weapon? Maybe the healing weapon the Prince drops from Kara?
