Probably against forum rules but I'm too proud.
Just finished my first 5-box (mixed team) clear of normal Utgard Keep. I wiped on the second boss once, and twice on trash. Finished the boss with Tank, and 2 toons below 10% but cleared the whole thing.
Tank - Paladin
Healer - Druid
DPS - Warlock, Priest, Shaman

Gratz. mixed team would be harder than Snow tank and the 4 dwarves. My teams are still in OL trying for that type of synergy.

Gratz, Pally and Druid make for an awesome combination :)
What level was the team?

Congrats! I was pretty proud of my first clear as well, so no worries on the separate post! It will be your first of MANY Instance clears! And with a really mixed team too! I went the easy route the first time with a Pally and 4x Shamen.
Impressive. Most Impressive!

I agree as a newish multiboxer you cant get a better feeling then your first WOTLK dungeon, then your first Heroic.
Have fun, and mixed teams for the win ;-P only because i use one as well.

Grats.
If you finished the last boss with two toons below 10%, bind one key on all the toons to strafe in one direction, this will avoid the spinning axe of death at the end. It will also come in handy in a number of other encounters in the future.

Level 70 with only 3 pieces of WOTLK gear on my tank. It was a sloppy run. I got a guy to craft me the Cobalt set and have picked up a few upgrades for my DPS. Runs are uber easy now.
I'm achieving some really amazing DPS numbers for my 3 dps. Something clicked with my keymashing rate, along with their abilities and gear levels that all of them are kicking major butt. My warlock is averaging about 925 DPS, with my shaman trailing at about 875 and my priest at about 800.
I don't know what to compare these numbers to but they feel pretty good. Learning how to use all my new abilities and how to work in some abilities I have neglected. Overall, the mixed team has been pretty darn cool, despite being a HUGE pain at times.

You kill stuff before it kills you = DPS is fine

I think the most rewarding expirence for me was to clear Utgarde as well at level. I have cleared other instances but this instance was my first WTLK instance.
I have done some PUGS later on an cleared alot of the other instances but its not the same feeling of achievement as when I do everything myself.

the UK was first for me to and strait after UK i cleared Nexus. First run took like 2h to clear them but for now i have run it like both of then atleast once at day. If you know the tactiks and your about 72 its easy to clear them. For my level (72) my shamans and warlock do about 1300 overall dps in dungeon. Warlocks dps can go to 2k+ at boss so i am very fine with that. At trash it sucks a little but my shamans can solve the problem there with CL and totems.
this weekend i prolly will try to clear Azjol-Nerub if i ding 73 or Randon Dungeon Finder pops it up. :o

Grats!
Though I believe you will have more buff if you make the priest as a healer instead and druid as boomkin

I've considered some role switching. one of the reasons I chose the group composition the way I did was the massive flexibility. 2 options for tanks, 4 options for healers, and of course, DPS. I like druid healing because for me at least it is very conducive to button mashing. Instead of lots of cast-time heals, just a constant stream of rolling HOTs.
Oh, and cleared nexus tonight with everyone at level 71. Like expected, had a number of wipes and close calls. Downed the crystal giant guy with just my tank and shaman still alive and sitting at about 5% health on both. All in all, feeling pretty sexy.

That's impressive, grats.
I never cleared Nexus until I was doing heroics and decided to go back and try it on heroic. The Anomalus encounter was crazy hard for me personally, although the recent change to it has made it far easier.

no no no
boxing boomkins = crap dps. yes they're fun as anything, and fun to pvp/play around with, but they have a damage model that requires actually paying attention. Mine have around 5kgs now, and I still can't break 4kish dps with them, even though I do upwards of 6k single playing them in raids. boxing druid = tree or bare (or maybe cat)

Full clear of Anub'arak at lvl 72. Hydro gave me the most trouble. Wiped at once on first boss cause I didnt' know what was happening and twice on second boss due to bad planning and not knowing the fights.
healed through the ground spikes on third boss and just DPS'd him down slowly but surely. It's been a nice feeling each new instance to not be sure if I can complete it and then to have very little trouble. So far Utgard, Nexus, and Anubrak, all well within the level and almost no problems. Woot.
