Disclaimer: I'm running 5 shamans, so this is my take on them without a tank. (I'm pretty much clearing them all for gold/old armor sets, weekly)
BWL- Razorgore is pretty easy. Just park a healer on the edge of orb platform and have him chain cast heals onto razorgore and get aggro on all the adds. They do really minimal damage.
AQ40- Twins are stupid easy now, you don't even need to split them if your dps is high enough. I don't run with a tank or need elementals. Viscidus I skip because I don't feel like spending 10 minutes whacking on his with frostbrand weapon.
TK- Kael becomes trival when you can burn him to 50% before the first mind control. Phase 3 is just a survival phase and it will all depend on your comp who to kill first. I usually do Astromancer -> Thaladred -> Sanguinar -> Engineer; whereas melee teams can pretty safely ignore Thaladred and can probably prioritize Sanguinar. You can also kill the melee on the far end of the room and after they rezz they have to run across the room to engage, which gives you enough time to kill Astromancer.
SSC- Vashj is the only hard encounter. Having to deal with the elementals along with the striders can be rough for melee teams; particularly with the PBAOE fear.
Hyjal- On the Archimonde fight there's an invisible wall on the (north, i think) side of the cliff face. If you position yourself there, you will never get knocked up. It's been there since BC.
Sunwell- Kalecgos is the only fight that requires strategy. I usually jump 2 extra into the first portal to bring Sathrovarr as low as possible. Wait for the debuff to expire and jump in 2 to finish him off, then it's bring Kalecgos down. Important part is not to kill Kalecgos until Sathrovarr is dead otherwise you end up with no way to get into the spirit realm.
Naxx- Thadius is the only fight that's even remotely rough on 10 man.
Ulduar - Actually, really fun. I made it up to Vezax the week before last, so it's doable on 10 man.
ICC - Did this this week with another boxer - haven't done it 5 manned yet since we're going for mount achieves.
