war vs deathknight

[penobscot]

I wanted to make a team of all warriors or deathknights. I have read in the forums that paly's did better than deathkngihts and warriors overall. I was wondering what would be the best of the two. Warrior duel weilding vs deathknight in team of 5.
Also if all are going to be the same class what allied race would be best same or mix? Ill assume bandage is a required with pots. Would being a Draenei be required? Would you wait for the new race in new expansion for racials for deathnight option.
Would it be better to drop one tank for healer?

you could always go blood with DK's too for their extra healing abilities

I'm not a big warrior fan or DK fan... but if I was forced... I'd say DK. 2 reasons, 1 is that you skip right to the 50s, and the 2nd reason is that you can just pop 5 x Army of the Dead in Dalaran during the busy hours and watch people freak out... :P

A warrior can work on a mixed team.

They are either your tank, which is you drive with, you can monitor all the abilities which proc, and play them somewhat optimally.
Alternatively, you can have one as a DPS, for the Mortal Strike effect.

A team of warriors don't really bring much.
What I mean is the second warrior doesn't add much (other shout) over what one warrior brings to the table.
The third warrior adds nothing at all.

5x DK's are probably a stronger choice.
You could have one go deep Frost, which gets you 20% melee haste and a tank option for a lot of instances.
You could have the others go Blood or Unholy, which gets you decent DPS.
The extra DK's would get you Rune Tap (assuming you went deep enough in Blood for it), which is a 10% party heal each.
You also get an extra Death Grip per DK.
And another Anti-Magic Shell if you talent that way.

I wouldn't personally go with 5x of either, but multiple DK's add more then multiple Warriors.

If you haven't started the team yet, consider 4x Ret / 1x DK, which is probably the top melee team in the game at the moment. For both PvE and PvP.

It will be awile before I start the team. I am just thinking ahead. My main team is lvl 46. I have one slot left. the rest are 5 ofs of each class so I will have options of teams I guess and with raf it seems pretty easy to do.
