The link holds classes and specs, but no character names.

Tip: drag a class or spec onto a group or slot, and swap players by drag and drop. A dragged class starts with its first spec; click the slot to change it. Without a mouse: press a class and a spec, then the slot. Totems and group auras only affect their own group.

What changes compared with Classic

Rules

Many Classic party buffs reach the whole raid in Forever (Battle Shout, Trueshot Aura, Leader of the Pack, Moonkin Aura, Windfury, Strength of Earth, Grace of Air and Flametongue Totem, resistance auras and totems). They still only work within their range (20–45 yards).
Party-only effects (Mana Spring, Healing Stream, Stoneskin and Tremor Totem, Devotion/Retribution/Concentration Aura, Blood Pact, Vampiric Embrace) only reach the caster's own group of five.
Each Shaman can keep only one totem per element (Earth, Fire, Water, Air). Windfury and Grace of Air are both Air totems, so both need two Shamans.
A player can carry one Blessing per Paladin. Salvation is no longer a Blessing and stacks with them. Each player gets one Aura per Paladin.
Each Warlock can keep one Curse on a target; Bane of Agony and Bane of Doom are separate (one Bane per Warlock).
Camp features copy class buffs and do not stack with them (e.g. Fishing Bowl with Blessing of Kings).
