Restoration Druid, Mage, Soul Warlock Vs. Shadow Priest, Restoration Shaman, Unstable Warlock
Submitted by Agnos · Edit
This is a fairly outclassed lineup that admittedly has alot of problems, but isn't a pushover against druid/mage/warlock. Beating it is similar to beating shadowpriest/shaman/rogue, although restoration vs elemental changes how you should approach it in either case.
Assuming the shaman is resto, and they are running a warlock, the optimal warlock spec for you is: 17/33/11 or SL/SL, followed by Sl/Ruin, with UA a distant but possible 4th. I personally like 17/33/11 because it's going to be basically a dps race - 2 aoe fears and a ton of undispellable dots + lots of burst damage on your mage, combined with a mass dispel, is not something even a druid can keep up with for very long. On the bright side, their shaman is HUGELY vulnerable to cc, especially if you're using a felhunter totem macro (for tremor, grounding, wrath of air), and their shadow priest is going to go down (usually) faster than your mage, especially if you can get silences off on a mass dispel. Even more so if the shaman is healing rather than dpsing, you're going to want as much burst potential to kill the priest as possible, so chaining shadowbolts should be part of your strategy.
Until your mage is getting low (when you should start saving your cc and spell lock for the MD) drop silences on the warlock's UA (or other shadow spell) casts. This not only allows to you pet-dispel your mage, but it puts the warlock out of action for a while, and leaves your druid safe from casted fears (and he's already going to have to watch the aoe ones).
I don't think there's a reason for this team to target your warlock, although getting on your druid is a viable strategy, even if the shaman is resto, and your druid should watch positioning very closely - especially if aoe fears haven't been blown yet. I'm going to stress the importance of counterspelling damage spells against this team (UA, Vampiric Touch), rather than heals, as between your incredible amount of cc and your ability to outlast mana wars, the longer it takes for someone (anyone) to die, the better for you. After the initial burst (once the priest is oom, etc), start using your dispels to get rid of fears (on your druid or mage, warlock should probably just sit in them, sad as that is, in case they get recasted on someone else :P) and occasionally offensively for lightning/water shield. If the team starts kiting/LoSing you with dots up, remember spellstone/dispel and try to get mana drains off on the priest, and then the shaman (keep your pet on the priest once he's oom, not before in case he drops form and puts up prayer of mending - keep it on the shaman; even if ProM is bouncing, (you have the advantage in the mana war), AND this means the shaman is pulling himself out of position, which is a huge target for you to fear him - again, make sure to stomp totems first)
Assuming theyre on your mage, your druid should be cc'ing their warlock, and your warlock their shaman (swapping after DR, if the spriest/mage live that long), and don't be afraid to play "twitchy" - in lamens terms: don't hesitate to blow NS or Iceblock 3 seconds into the fight, and realize that the shaman is incredibly vulnerable to all of your CC - that's the key to winning here. Note: Obviously, kill the UA warlock before the shaman if it gets down to a 2v2, but if he's SL, you may want to mana drain first, and then kill the shaman while cc'ing the warlock.
