2 comps
A5s Caster Cleave
The ranged-control 5s archetype: stacked casters (mage + lock + shadow priest) layering Poly, Fear, and Cyclone behind a healer core. Kites melee cleave and kills through control — high ceiling, high coordination.
BMage / Holy Paladin
Mage/Holy Paladin is the patient control comp of the 2s bracket: two of the best CC toolkits in the game stapled to the strongest single-target healer. You rarely burst anyone down — instead you kite, Polymorph, and Mana Burn until the enemy healer is out of gas, then delete their partner in one frozen window. It is a grind, not a race.
