Any healer, any tank and any 3 ranged DPS. Composition really doesn't matter in 5 mans, they're all faceroll. If you're planning on doing LFR/raiding, I'd go with a Druid tank and Priest, Druid or Shaman healer. This way you can dual spec both your tank and healer as ranged DPS when you PUG. Playing 5 of the same role is a lot less problematic than trying to tank and/or heal while controlling DPS at raid level.

Since when ? Personally I struggle with heroics with my ilevel 330 mixed team and therefore choice of healer is important. Your comment is probably true of overgeared teams only, unless I'm rubbish?

Depends what you mean by, "over-geared", I suppose. If you keep your characters geared (within reason, I wouldn't expect everyone to have full heroic tier on 5 characters) before new content comes out, I've never found progressing through the subsequent tier to be particularly difficult. You can buy the previous tier and off-pieces with JP, which is ridiculously easy to farm. There are solid crafted weapons and trinkets and plenty of 378+ rep gear & quest rewards. LFR is a complete joke, even more so for multiboxers since you automatically have 4 "friends" to roll on loot for you.

Gearing up new characters has never been this easy.

- I must have missed where you said your characters are 330 average before. That's the problem. A full set of normal mode gear plus a few BoE's will put you well above 333. You're attempting content that's above your level. Also, what type of mixed group are you running? If you're playing a melee team, you're going to have a hard time with some of the first tier of heroics (Deadmines, Throne of Tides and Grim Batol would all be annoying with undergeared melee). Go pick up some BoE's, farm factions for the welfare epics and grind mobs in Firelands for the rep cloak, etc. There's a lot of gear to be had outside of instances & you can farm normal modes for easy JP for the 378 vendor gear.
