As you can see we have an insane melee group though we still use bloodlust in the casters. We do it in this order:
Akil'zon (Eagle)
Nalorakk (Bear)
Jan'alai (Dragonhawk)
Halazzi (Lynx) - bear dropping gneum dude  . |
We run a very similar set, just a CoH Priest instead of a Resto Shaman. Shaman is definately a stronger choice, we just had a more consistent group with our CoH Priest. Our trick for one Bloodlust and a stacked melee group is to switch the Feral and the Prot Warrior with the Mage and Lock for BL, then switch them back. Threat should be solid enough with an Enhance Sham for the tanks full time that they don't need BL to keep up.
The real benefit to this setup however IMO is a Ret Pally who has a well geared Prot set for Dragonhawk and Lynx trash. Our Ret Pally does great DPS on all other Bosses/Trash, then tanks whole sides on Dragonhawk, allowing us to cut a few minutes off him, and the Lynx packs on Lynx trash. Having a flexible Ret Pally will help a lot in any setup IMO, while allowing you to retain Sunders and LoTP/Faerie Fire for your melee setup.
