We purchased a 60 Drive DAS unit with 30 2Tb Drives. I can have Max of 4 Hosts Connected redundantly to the DAS.  We have 4 Hosts Connected. 

The Cluster was Originally intended to run Hyper-V VMs in a Cluster.  The more I read about Clustering and Windows 2012, it seems like I might want to re-think my Member Server roles.

The two that I'm thinking about at the moment are File Servers and DHCP.  These have 

We have 12 TBs of File server Storage. Should I add the File Server Role to the Cluster or Keep with my two VM Member Servers that Replicate Data?

Same with DHCP?

Now that I have the Cluster I want to be sure I use it to the fullest and not just for Hyper-V VMs... We have 15 VMs that are going to be Spread across the 4 Host Cluster. 5 Of which get decent usage, the other 10 are pre-production test units or low usage member or DC Servers. 

Any Comments or Suggestions would be Great...

Thank you,
