A lot of people go with 4x Shaman + 1x Paladin.
Because of the synergy between everyone.
4 shammies can dps and heal, without the need of a dedicated healer.
3 Shammies, a warlock and a Paladin.
Or 2 Shammies, a warlock, a disc priest and a Paladin.
Those are probably my two favorite groups, for PvE content.
Almost anything is viable for PvE content.
Usually you need a tank for heroics, or to outgear heroics by a large margin.
Healers are optional, if your dps can heal.
Battlegrounds are like normal instances or quests; almost anything works here too.
Some things are easier then others, and some have more power then others too.
Arena, is like a heroic, in that some things seem to be rules.
Two classes, seems to be the maximum for competitive 5's.
One class, and a dedicated healer seems to be required, although Pallies proved this is not a hard rule for all compositions.
Experimentation is good, as we don't know what will work and what will not, until its tried.
the fact would be that 3 shamans, paladin and warlock/moonkin is best set up once you get geared. No one needs a healer, but coe is highest dps debuff for 3 or 4 casters, easily adding around 1k dps.
All you want priest for is fort, but that is replaced by scroll.
wow.. wtf lol resistances? who the hell cares about those :P
3 shamans.. I don't get it lol.
PvP? PvE?
For PVE I'll always be a fan of mixed teams coupled with smart castsequences and a dedicated AOE capable healer. I like having arcane intellect, totems, paladin blessings, fortitude, divine spirit, fear ward, replenishment, heroism, mark of the wild, moonkin aura and whatever else up all at once. It's a huge difference in power. The only reason any team can be super-successful these days is because the heroics were poorly balanced for the last couple of major patches and you outgear them with just one piece of badge gear.
