Roch, do you kill dps first or their healers? We try to knock out some dps first but when our people assigned to lock down healers start getting cced, it goes bad very quickly. Between the priest and the shammy healer, which is best to kill first?

We always kill all the healers first. I know there are some guilds that kill 2, then get some dps, but we get all 3 to start. Shaman is first every time it's up, normally priest next (much lower health than druid, seems easier to burn through) followed by druid then paladin. If shaman, priest, druid is the healer comp, we have our shadow priests and enhance shaman really focusing on dispels on the shaman as hots and shields will really slow you down.

I don't know if this is the normal way to do it, but it works for us. We don't have many problems with 2 good prot warriors and our one dk is amazing at keeping the warrior locked down.

Our 'healer kill order' is Druid->Priest->Shaman->Paladin.

If the Paladin is one of the healers, we'll kill 2 and go to DPS for sure (since the paladin is so stupidly easy to lock down by one melee).

The Druid just puts out ridiculously stupid amounts of healing relative to the others, so we like to gib it first with Heroism. The Priest goes down ridiculously fast, so it comes first if no druid.

Some guy apparently foudn out who the NPCs "aggro". This is quite useful to get them off warlocks and helers who they apparently love to focus.

It is also really good because apparently, the healers focus on the perso who has the lowest health.
We tried it out these last two weeks and found it much easier than what we used to do. We just put an enhancement chaman on the hunter pet (or warlock, but hunter is better because he has lower HP). We noticed that as explained, the pet gets healing priority over the focused target until the target reaches about 50%
This really speeds up the kills. It allows us to do less CC on the healers at first, and really lock them down when we get close to the kill. This saves us DR on sheep/fear.

We usually take out the priest 1st (he dies really fast), and then focus on either chaman healer (druid ca easily be CCed by a warlock with fear/ban and his HOTs dispelles) and paladin is a joke for a rogue. After the helers, we go on SP to stop the CC dispels, silence and fears and then we finish casters (hunter is horrible, druid is annoying, mage and warlock usually go last), and then the melees, starting by rogue, ending by war.
