10man hardmode question

[Silencium]

we're going to jump into hardmodes relatively soon here, and we lost one of our dps which opens up the option to fill that spot with a range or a melee.

in firelands, we ran into the "too many melee" problem, and we'd like to try and avoid the whole "one too many of x" so my question is this


for hardmodes in DS, is it preferable to have a melee heavy or range heavy?

right now our make up

war/pal tank
sha[os elemental]/pal/druid heals
dk/firemage/hunter/enchshaman/ [spot open]

I would pick up a ranged. Having three will be either a minor inconvenience or a pain for the first 6 in my experience. As for heroic spine/madness, I don't have first hand experience.

Get a ranged. Having 2 meele dps with one of the tanks possibly going meele offspec, you have enough of those.
