The problem with choosing necros is that while great dps, their DoTs will not stack with other necros casting the same DoT, while the multiple wizards casting DD spells can be very effective. The same is true for multiple rogues and zerkers.
At least one necro is great, in fact essential if you want to recover quick from a wipe, two necros can organize their DoTs so as to avoid stepping on each others, more than two it can be tough to do, though possible.
This is no longer the case (has not been for years) cept for one (minor) spell line. I routinely group with 3 or 4 or 5 necros all casting the same DoTs on a mob. And they all stack.
Now a mobs have a fixed number of buff slots (just like you) and detremental spells take slots (just like when mobs cast on you.. and they displace buffs). So.. sure.. on raid_mob_01 you cannot have 5 Necros and 5 Shaman all stacking every DoT they own on a mob. That is a raid DPS issue, certainly.
Edit: And they have *more* buff slots than you do.. I want to say 35? Someone smarter will surely know.
