We've had some discussion about how many people should be in the soaker-groups. At first we went with 10 people in each group (basicly everyone, except the melee DPS). This obviously made the Meteor Slash a lot less noticeable since the damage it does to each person is 5k on the last hit.
And then we basicly went with the following positioning.
Now people wanted to go with less soakers (some talked about 5, others about 7) so you'd had people stand behind the melee DPS (I guess?). But how is this realisable healing wise, and what is the benefit other than, I guess, no spell pushbacks? We run with 2 prot warriors and 2 druids, 1 priest, 2 shamans & 2 paladins. But if we for example leave our shadowpriests out the soaker-group, together with a healer and 3 other dps.
Any thoughts on what the most efficient size of the soaker group would be?
