Hrm I did this easy at the start of Cata with 5 shamans, has Blizz made it harder?

Nah don't think so, just think that doing it with 4 hunters + healer might not be the easiest way to do things.Of course I might be wrong.

Also I have to say that comps do make a difference, I have two comps I've been playing a bit lately. 1 85 pally tank, level 80ish priest disc, 1 85 elem shammy + 2 x 80ish elem shammies. Instances were easy mode. Don't think we ever wiped on anything normal as I leveled them up to 85. So I tried level 80ish warrior + 85 druid resto, 85 demo warlock, 85 fire mage, 85 ele shammy. Wiped more and fights were in general harder.

Note this is part of a larger experiment to try to figure out what tank, healer, dps comps are "best". Hopefully I'll get to try all the 3xelem + tank + healer combinations fairly soon, missing DK tank(at 72 atm), druid tank(level 1 ouch), Pally healer(level 15), Shammy Healer(level 68). So maybe by this fall I'll have those combos done.

Wouldn't the experiment be a little more accurate if all 5 toons were of the same level?

Yupp, that's why I have to level all those toons up..... Not sure it will happen, but the warrior is 84,5ish, so at least I can get a comparison between pally and warrior done soon, resto druid vs disc priest I can do now. So those two comparisons will be done first.

Previous statements is just an initial feeling I have as one would suspect that 1 level 80ish+4x 85 would be superior to 2 level 85s+ 3 80ish. I am suspecting that also certain classes are easier to MB than others. If I get all the comps I want done, then I'll write a comprehensive guide. LOL
