		<description>I&#039;m kinda biased. I lub my paladin

As I see it you have:

A healer
A CC/Dps (hunter)
A up and coming support/dpser (shad priest)

I&#039;d say add a tank and a hard dpser, maybe a warlock. Sometimes its just nice to cut loose and make something go BOOM</description>

		<description>I leveled my warrior to 70 before all my other characters when BC came out. The problem back then was finding a healer though. Eventually I leveled a healer to 70 only to discover that now there is a tank shortage. I&#039;m not sure how it is on your server, but I can be in LFG for about 2 minutes and get an invite to an instance, and thats before people realize I&#039;m in epics. Theres a huge demand for tanks on my server. 

I&#039;d recommend leveling the warrior so that you can play any role for a group. Thats just me though. :) 

I&#039;d like to level a druid someday but I haven&#039;t been able to find the time as of late.</description>

		<description>I am in pretty much the same situation. I play a few hours at night and while I could be spending them doing dailies day in and day out, that&#039;s all I&#039;d ever be doing. Boring!

If you are anything like me, you&#039;ll probably enjoy tanking on a hybrid class. Warriors simply do not provide the flexibility that a druid or pally tank can. Therefore, you should make a pally tank.

Just last night I was playing on my 25 pally tank with a 25 rogue and 26 fire mage. We were doing quests in Raven Hill Cemetary in Duskwood when we saw Mor&#039;ladim. He&#039;s a level 30 elite, red to us. We decided to try and take him down, and we did! I held aggro and healed myself through his damaging blows while the rogue and mage whittled his green bar down to 0. A warrior could not have done that without a healer... I don&#039;t even think a feral druid of the same level could have managed it either.

Make thee a tankadin!</description>

		<description>I know what you are talking about. I have a 70 druid, 70 mage and then 41 druid, 40 warlock, 41 shaman, 38 priest, 33 hunter and a few more around 20 ... I am surprised I managed to level the mage. 

Right now I have very little time to play, so I am focussing on alts because leveling is something that can be accomplished with short playtimes and solo (funny enough I had  a few leveling companions). Currently I am focussing on the Shaman. I have a tanking option with my druid, a ranged DPS with the mage and I want to spec the Shaman for healing. It is also a choice of professions for me since the Shaman is leveling Jewelcrafting and Mining, the latter being the one gathering profession I have not yet at 375. 

I am looking forward to having both a healer and a tank at the same time - I am not a big fan of respecs and I hope it will work out with the Shaman healing. I like feral tanking and neither Warrior nor Paladin looks like an option I would want to pursue for tanking.</description>

		<description>Well, you have a healer (resto druid) and a dpser (hunter). We&#039;re in a similar sea going vessel here :) I have a warrior and a hunter, and decided I should try healing one day. So I rolled a druid. He&#039;s newly 70 and I&#039;m very glad I found your blog. You&#039;ve been a big help.

I suggest going for the tank. Your warrior&#039;s 40, correct? Arms is a decent leveling spec (it&#039;s how I got up there). If you can get the gear, Fury works well too. It&#039;s all about the gear, though, so be prepared to try to keep the best weapon you can get your hands on equipped. On the other hand, warriors can be a lot of fun. You understand the healing role well. Understanding the tanking role will (at least that&#039;s my theory) help you become an even better healer. I&#039;m doing a role-reversal with my best bud (who&#039;s an amazing healer). He&#039;s rolling a pally tank right now and I&#039;ll be going resto with my druid. That way we can help each other out with the finer points of the jobs.

Having that flexibility is VERY nice. I&#039;ve already seen it with my warrior and hunter. I was the only plate wearing tank for a bit in my guild, and we had a couple of new tanks coming up, so when they wanted to get their feet wet (and grab some upgrades) I was able to switch to my hunter and help with the DPS. Now, my guild&#039;s short healers too often, so I&#039;m hoping I can help with that. 

The one problem I&#039;ve seen with having multiple 70s is a lack of focus. But I like the variety too. I&#039;d truly be torn right now if I had to pick one 70 to play full time. Good luck!</description>
