5s Triple-Healer Control

The definitive S2 immortality comp — three healers behind an Arms warrior and Affliction warlock who never stop applying pressure. You don't out-burst anyone; you refuse to die and grind the enemy team into an empty mana bar. Every game is a war of attrition you were built to win.

5s Melee Cleave

The default competitive 5s archetype: stacked melee burst (warrior + rogue) behind two or three healers. 5s in TBC is less rigid than 2s/3s — think in team archetypes, and melee cleave is the highest-floor one.
