Realm: Icecrown
Hello, I've had the dream of multiboxing ICC 25M HC for a while and now I finally have the time to work towards it rather seriously. I'm running ICC with my brother and dad, my dad will play only 1 character so the rest of the raid my brother and I will have to multibox.
This is my raid composition for a 10M, please give critiques! (E.g. why a certain class is bad and what class would be a better fit).

DPS Testing
@Blackrock PvP server, in ToC HC gear (around 5.6kgs), talent tree specced based on internet guides, focused gemmed spell power. buffed with only the class buffs (i.e. if I'm testing Shaman, I don't have Greater Blessing of Kings or Arcane Brilliance--only the shaman totem buffs and weapon enchant), tested dps with boss rotation (so no AoE spells like Mind Sear or Chain Lightning used, only Mind Flay or Lightning Bolt, etc)
Troll Elemental Shaman = ~5.8k dps, ~6.3k dps with Berserking, Bloodlust
Set-Up: N/A
Rotation: Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Lightning Bolt x5
<Elemental Mastery macroed to activate whenever it is off cooldown, since I'm multiboxing do not want to pay much attention to timing to use this before casting Lava Burst, literal 1 button spam very easy to multibox>
Multiboxing more than 1 benefits:
Strength of Earth Totem (+155 strength +155 agility)
Stoneskin Totem (+1150 armor)
Earth/Fire Elemental/Searing (does damage)
Flametongue Totem (+144 spell power)
Fire/Frost/Nature Resistance Totem
Tauren Balance Druid = ~4.7k dps, ~5.1k dps with Treants, Starfall, Eclipse (Solar/Lunar) procced + Insect Swarm, Moonfire ticking
Set-Up: Faerie Fire
Rotation: Insect Swarm, Moonfire, Wrath x9 OR Starfire x4 (depending on Eclipse)
<Starfall macroed to activate whenever it is off cooldown, playing druid somewhat effectively DOES actively require attention, you cannot just spam a button due to the Eclipse mechanism which is a little irritating for multiboxing>
Troll Shadow Priest = ~3.9k dps, ~4.2kdps with Berserking, Shadowfiend
Set-up: Shadow Word: Pain
Rotation: Vampiric Touch, Misery, Mind Blast, Mind Flay x2, Mind Blast, Mind Flay x2
<Does have Power Word: Shield and Dispersion as damage reductions which can save them from Marrowgar's Bonestorm or whatever else AoE but overall the gameplay is a 1 button spam and pretty easy to multibox. not sure if the Power Word: shield survivability outweighs the DPS of any other spell damage classes>
Orc Affliction Warlock ~3.95k dps, ~4.1k dps with Blood Fury
Set-up: Corruption
Rotation: Haunt, Unstable Affliction, Curse of Agony, Shadow Bolt x3
<Fel Hunter + Fel Armor + Spellstone are my buffs, the rotation is suboptimal but this would be the one I would use because this allows me to do a 1 button spam. however, every 35 seconds or so I need to take 4 secs to Life tap back to full mana.>
Multiboxing more than 1 benefits:
Curse of Elements(+5%magic damage done to boss)
Curse of Tongues (-30% casting time for boss)
Curse of Weakness (-attack power + -5% armor to boss)
