Gruuls Lair Class Set up

Im not sure how much info you guys are willing to give out but I rather ask then not. What would be a good class set up for doing high king and gruul. Whether or not the guild master knows or has his own set up in mind, I would like to have a good idea myself of what class set up would be best. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, even if its not a full 25 man lay out

On a side note I have read boss killers strat and Wiki quite a few times over, so I know what classes are suggested. But I would like to get 3rd, 4th, and 5th opinions.

It really doesn't matter very much. Maulgar is not a DPS race so feel free to stack healers (~9) to stabilize things. Additionally, the whole Maulgar fight is executing the pull properly, so bringing 3+ hunters for Misdirect can really trivialize that. Still, you can do the fight just fine with less healers and with zero hunters...class composition doesn't matter much on Maulgar. For Gruul you want maybe 7 healers (4 on MT, 1 on OT, 2 on raid healing), doesn't really matter what class. A warrior MT and a druid OT will work nicely. Melee take more damage because of lots of cave-ins, so perhaps go light on melee, but it's really not a huge deal to heal them with Chain Heal. Class composition doesn't matter much for Gruul either.

Some of it depends on who you use to tank Kiggler... we use Hunters, so at least 1 Warlock, 2 Hunters, 1 Mage, 3 Tanks, 1 Offtank (DPS Warrior, Shaman, etc. works for Seer), 7 Healers will be the "core" for an average go at it. Fill the 9 with whatever you like, but it's nice to have at least 2-3 inturrupts (Rouge/Warrior/Mage) for Seer and 2 Warlocks.

Would probably recommend something along the lines of:
1 Prot Warrior (Maulgar)
2 Feral Druids or Prot Warrior(s) (Olm, preferably only 1 additional Warrior)
1 Feral Druid or DPS Warrior (Seer)
2 Warlocks (Olm + Imp + Banish)
1 Mage (Krosh)
2 Hunters (Kiggler)
2 Rogues (Seer)
7 Healers (Shamanx1, Paladinx3, Druidx1, Priestx2)
7 Assorted DPS (e.g. 2x Mage, 1x Warlock, 1x Shaman, 1x Rogue, 2x Shadow Priest)

This setup is quite capable of taking both Maulgar and Gruul. Both Prot Warriors would go on Gruul, with the Druids on DPS duty. You will have 3 dedicated tanks for the end trash pulls and possibly a backup if your Seer tank was a Druid.

However, as Erongg said, don't sweat class layout too much. As long as you have the basics covered, you will be fine.
