Anyone curious or interested in blackrock??

Problem is, our little 5 man wants to run a priest AND a druid... and I am both of them. I can't play both in PVP like I can in PVE (I can even do primary heal for 2 different groups in 2 different instances, which is how I geared up both toons so fast).
So I'm considering giving 1 toon up and recruiting someone to play it. We can work out a sale, or I can just loan the account out to someone interested in PVP'ing with us on a temporary basis (if it was temporary, I could probably cover the monthly... just want someone solid to pvp with). You already know some of my crew, Contre/Puppets and Dekz/Qrak, and there are a couple other guys we picked up who were as hardcore about PVP as we were.
Priest: 60 tri-spec priest. 3700 hp / 6800 mp self-buffed. 4000 hp/ 7500 mp with all 3 buffs, almost 10000 mp with items flask. _All_ dreadmist/devout gear (except bracers). using penelope's rose/gift of the elven magi for pvp, and soulkeeper with +9 spirit enchant for instances (better mana regen). has onyxia key quest done. 300 herbalism/300 alchemy.
Druid: Resto/balance Druid. 4100 hp / 5700 mp self buffed (5000hp / 6500 mana fully buffed + hat buff ) 5300-5400 hp / 10k armor self-buffed (70% dmg reduction vs level 60!) in bear mode with my armor items, probably around 6000 with priest buffs in bear, although I tend to only bear when I'm solo, or pve dueling with my rogue friend. Full wildheart set, minus helmet. Using 3 weapon sets right now (incorporate weapon switch with shapeshifting macros).. Warden staff for bear, witch doctor's for wrath spam, argent crusader with int buff for caster form. I have a tome of knowledge vaulted, which I'll pair with Mass of McGowan for cat mode, once I get one =(. Onyxia key qest done. also a 300 herb/alchemy. every recipe I know of, except flasks (swiftness, free action, major mana, invulnerability, etc). Sorry, no epic mount yet on either toons... almost saved up enough cash for 1 epic mount, but I won't buy them until I have enough money for 2 of them. Not to mention priests and druids aren't really good farmers... I've been making money using ghetto arbitrage techniques.
We coordinate everything in ventrilo. We're pretty much done with gear/PVE, except for the occasional quests for better gear (MC/Onyxia, and sometimes we farm resist gear). Let me know if there's some interest.... We've been talking about PVP a lot more with battlegrounds coming out, and we really want to run a priest+druid right now..
Our current setup (at least what we want) will be:
Priest, Druid, Rogue, Mage, Shaman.
We're thinking about:
Priest, Druid, Rogue, Rogue, Mage.
What we end up doing now:
Priest/Druid, Shaman, Rogue, Mage, Warrior.
Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone is interested.. nothing is concrete yet, maybe we'll just recruit some other priest or druid from the guild already, don't really know, but just gauging interest, since as soon as I'm doing a lot of PVP, I know I will have to focus on just 1 of my toons.
p.s. if you buy the account, we can probably fast track you into the guild... it's a kinda big guild, about 55 members. Essentially we merged a lot of smaller gank-type guilds together to form a solid guild to do raid instances althoughthey're all really cool guys so far. We're probably 1 in 5 or 6 Horde Guilds overall to knock out 6 bosses in MC, and while we've only attempted Onyxia twice, our 2nd attempt got her down to 22%... Hopefully our 3rd attempt = kill, but who knows.
p.p.s. blackrock is pretty similar to bleeding hollow overall: http://www.wowcensus.com/no_realm.php?sort=count Primetime is definitely different between the two however.. primetime on blackrock starts at 8pm pst.. i've noticed primetime on bleeding hollow starts a little earlier like 4pm pst. primetime is basically when the queues start
no lifers and east coasters have zero issues with queues on blackrock.
