25 man Raid comp Suggestions

[Nythion]

I'm guessing this is the right forum if it isn't forgive me. I'm starting a hardcore 25 raid guild in cataclysm and I was wondering what some good 25 man raid comps would be and if people could do what elitist jerks calls "hand holding" and rate my raid comp on a scale of 1 to 10.

Since some people may get confused what some of the classes are for since mmo champions calculator isn't the greatest my comp is as follows:


Tanks:
Warrior
Deathknight (frost offspec)
Druid
Paladin

Tank Healers:

Disc Priest
Holy Paladin

Raid Heals:

Resto Shaman
Elemental Shaman (OS heals in case we need 6 healers)
Holy Priest
Resto Druid

Ranged:

2 Mages (Fire,Arcane)
2 Warlocks (Destro/Afflic)
1 Shadow Priest
1 Elemental Shaman
1 Boomkin
2 Hunters Marks/BM

Mele:

3 Rouges Asass/Combat/Sub
1 Ret Paladin.
2 Fury Warriors
1 frost DK
1 Enhance Shaman.

Total Healers: 5 1 Offspec
Total Tanks: 3 1 Offspec
Total Ranged: 9
Total Mele: 8


Any suggestions? I'm all ears.

Unholy DK's? Frost, more likely, for DPS role, anyhow, and mebbe lose one of the Rogues for another plate DPS. Frost DK is designed for the DPS role in PvE, while Unholy is designed for PvP.

is it? I haven't done much reading on the new deathknight changes to be honest. I knew they would be a good tank os though so thats why I added one in there.

Ehh ... what?!?


Doubt there will be an encounter where you need 4 tanks.

My perfect raid? Assuming 3 tanks, 4 healers and 18 DPS

Feral Druid main-tank
Blood DK off-tank
Warrior off-tank / adds tank

reasons: lots of self-healing, self-shielding from these classes and warriors have block and blood craze which are great for adds

Holy Paladin
Resto Druid
Disc Priest
Resto Shaman melee healer

reasons: Holy Paladin and Disc Priest both creates lots of shields to reduce damage, and druid can roll hots everywhere and shamans chain heal can top people off.

DPS WILL COME LATER I REALLY GOTTA GO NOW! :O

in my experience, casterheavy setups work best. I try running with as few melee as possible when progressing.

MT - Prot Pally
OT - Prot Pally
OOT - Cat/Bear

Melee
Cat/Bear ^as above
Fury War
Combat Rogue
Mutilate Rogue
Ret Paladin
UH Death Knight
FR Death Knight

Ranged
Marks Hunter
Surv Hunter
Fire Mage
Arcane Mage
Boomkin
Elemental Shaman
Affliction Lock
Demo Lock
Destro Lock
Shadow Priest
Shadow/Holy Priest

Healers
Holy Pally x2
Holy Priest
Disc Priest
Resto Druid

Enh Sham do less dps than Frost DK and Marks Hunters and bring no unique utility.
Resto Shams are kinda void with a pro Holy priest and Disc priest.
Tempting to bring 2nd Boomkin or Feral for Vate/Res, would drop a lock, probs destro.
