PVE is fun Boxing :-)
A Mage for Water, high burst DPS and Int buff for your whole team of mana users, oh and PORTS very handy. :-0
As for marcos they dont have to be too dis-similar to your soloing macros. The only thing you need to do is figure out a macro rotaion that works for the team becasue you'll be triggering them at the same time.
Macros
Wiki

Vydrees hunter macros -- can be changed to allow for druid crowd control

Syro's Good setup and I use it for my team with a few changes for my classes.

Healing -- there are hundreds of setups here. Try a search. I use the number pad for healing + 9 6 3 . for
/stopcasting
/target Character name
/focus
and 8 5 2 7 4 1 for heals / shields etc.
It is a little tricky to dps with left hand and heal with right but once you get the hand of it it works great... But there is also the (target=targetstarget) route but thats seems a little more trick if you get unexpected adds and you dont see them on your pally and pick them up. Scanning all the screens seems like a new artform to me. this way i can heal whoever without changing targets/ focus etc.
Anyway have fun. It will take time to setup.... Get JAMBA it will make you life easier :-)

I'd go 3 boomkins, one with slightly more resto talents. why?
3x rejuv > 1 rejuv.
also, i'd pick a mage for sheep that lasts a whole lot longer than entangling roots, frost nova, AoE, good dps and water for everyone. Vmp suggested portals!! omg i wouldnt have thought of that!
but yea. just thought i'd say that 3 boomkins works just fine.

I'm sure you wouldn't be surprise how often on my mage I was flying places and forgetting all about portals....I guess that was the warlock in me. :-)

Shamans are the easiest to multibox with for a reason... fear protection and totems that you set 'em and forget 'em.
You should really try to get at least once shaman in your 5 man team or else fears may rip you apart.
