5s Beast/Hunter Cleave (2347)

Beast/Hunter Cleave is a ranged burst comp built around the hunter's Beast Within window: a CC-immune nuke phase backed by Elemental Shaman and Destro Warlock damage, all propped up by a disc priest and holy paladin. It hits like a truck for eighteen seconds and refuses to die afterward. If the opener doesn't kill, the double-healer backbone lets you reset and go again.

5s Shadowplay Plus

Shadowplay Plus takes the shadow priest and elemental shaman core and bolts on a frost mage, destruction warlock and holy paladin for a five-caster wall of ranged burst. It kills through raw instant damage stacked into one global, backed by a silence chain no single healer survives. When the burst is peeled, it simply mana-burns the enemy healer into the floor instead.

Rogue / Warlock

Rogue/Warlock is a double-DPS tunnel comp that wins by chaining control across every diminishing-returns bracket while the Warlock's dots bleed a pinned target out. There is no true burst here — outside a lucky Nightfall Shadow Bolt, you kill with relentless pressure, not a single global — so every kill is a CC chain you built by hand. Land the opener and the game is often decided in the first twenty seconds; whiff it and you reset and try again.

5s DPS Zerg

The all-in 5s archetype: four DPS (arms warrior, sub rogue, frost mage, SL/SL warlock) stacked behind a single discipline priest. You don't win the long game — you CC the enemy healer, dump every cooldown on one target, and delete them before your lone healer runs dry.
