Setting up Optimal 10man Raid comps

[extine]

So far for our guild we're looking for dps to optimize our comp.
What we have right now is:

Warrior Tank(me)
Blood DK tank
Enhance Shaman
Resto Druid (Boomkin offspec)
Holy Priest (Shadow Offspec)
Holy Pally
Unholy DK
Fury Warrior

So it seems like the melee is taken care of, 20% totem haste, HoW, StR totem, Bshout + kings, Sunders.

And Caster DPS has the 13% magic dmg from UH dks, possibly the 5% crit from boomkin when hes not healing.

Should I consider filling the last two spots with casters? IE: Arcane Mage / Warlock?
Doing this i notice we're not having a hunter, which with ranged traps could be good on certain bosses (IE: Saurfang.)

with this setup we'd always have 3 ranged DPS, seeing as most fights only require two healers (unless we run a GC and need 3 healers on some fights.)

Any tips from some pro's out there?

Also somewhat off topic: Should we have our UH dk ever specced into Desecration for situational fights where kiting and/or slowing is beneficial on adds? (once again, IE: Saurfang)
No actual problems on saurfang btw, just an easy fight to help show mechanics on.

I suggest adding a Ret Paladin and Arcane Mage, to get this comp.
This assumes your Druid goes Balance and your Pala and Priest heal.

Thank you very much, for the opinion and to the link of a helpful site i've never actually seen before. Or tool anyways.

Actually quite the perfect setup, I like it a lot, thanks a lot =)

Get more ranged dpsers. You'll probably have trouble on Putricide, Lich King (VERY many problems with the vile spirits if you only have 1 ranged dpser), ranged has a benefit on Marrowgar as well, Gunship, Saurfang and Blood princes.

Seriously.

[extine]

Well yeah, that's why there is two raid spots open.

Of course I'm getting more ranged. The debate is on how good they are and if I'd rather roll with 3 or 4 ranged.

And have fun when Vile Spirits rape your raid.
And your DPS will suck because there is no synergy.

Yesterday we had a ICC10 hm raid with

Prot pala
Blood DK (tank)
Holy priest
Holy pala
Resto druid
Ret pala
Demon lock
Boomkin
MMS hunter
Shadow priest

Prety damn awesome raid even with out bl :P (killed 8 HM bosses including Professor)

[GAfo]

with your setup, i'd rather try to do something like this:

Warrior tank
Blood DK tank
En Sham
Resto druid (boomkin offspec)
Holy Priest
Holy Pala
Unholy DK
Fury Warrior
Ele Sham
Arcane Mage/Lock

SP utility compared to the boomkin one is 0, so keep the moonkin if you go with 2 healers;
a good ele shaman will boost even more the casters and for the last spot either a mage or a lock will be fine, maybe a destro lock with affli os is the best choice.

As Shadowpriest myself, i'd love to see something along those lines:

Warrior Tank
Pala Tank
Holy Pala
Resto druid (boomkin offspec)
Resto shaman (ele offspec)
Arcane Mage
Shadow Priest (disc offspec for hardmodes, it may be helpfull)
Lock
Unholy Dk
Retri pala

[extine]

On one note, are Disc priests preferred over holy with a Holy Pally / Priest set up for Norm ICC & hardmodes?


Also, on another note, are warriors out of the loop for tanking suddenly?
I've noticed a lot of people not including warrior tanks in their 10man raid slots, any specific reason or did it just happen that way?

[Saikred]

I normally run something like this

Paladin Tank
Frost DK Tank
Arms Warrior (Me)
Unholy DK
Enhancement Shaman
Holy Priest
Resto Shaman
Resto Druid
Mage (Forget his spec)
Destro Lock

[mstreurman]

We roll with:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protection Warrior - Tank
Feral Druid - Tank
Fury Warrior - Melee DPS
Combat Rogue - Melee DPS
Demonology Warlock - Caster DPS <--- this is me
Arcane Mage - Caster DPS
Moonkin Druid / Elemental Shaman - Caster DPS / Backup Heal (in case we have some ppl that aren't able to make it that day)
Restoration Shaman - Heal
Holy Paladin - Heal / Extra Melee DPS (when needed or when 3 healers are just overkill)
Discipline / Holy Priest - Heal (whatever applies to the fight)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this we clear 8/12 ICC10 in about 1hour, yesterday we got our first kill Putricide. (Panic / Grim Batol EU) We raid 2 times a week 8PM - 11PM server time so we are pretty casual although we all have "5600+ GS (who cares) / 4t10 and are exalted Ashen Verdict"

You're missing savage combat from a combat rogue, kind of a big one

Not really, that comp only has one pure physical DPS class. I think they can live without it, if thet had a Feral Cat as well, I'd be inclined to agree.

Not the most pure Phys. DPS setup, so I think I can live without. But I already have a combat rogue and muti rogue lined up for our 25mans for the buffs.

However if our raid 10man comp changes and brings in a feral or other pure phys. dps class, i'll have to bring in that combat rogue. Be ridiculous not to

[sulfuric]

If you're not bringing savage combat, the group is not optimal.

[Oxna]

My guild normally runs with:

Prot Pala
Feral Druid

Resto Shaman (me)
Holy Pala/Resto Druid
Disc Priest/Resto Druid

Muti Rogue
MM Hunter
Fury Warrior
Arcane Mage
Ret Pala
