Chloro mages are very decent for healing and damaging, just keep in mind you can also do the same with rogues and cleric classes as well with certain talent specs.

Warrior + Mage Setup is similar setup to another player on Wolfsbane, i think he is in the process of switching mages out with clerics i believe. I personally love the idea of a Cleric Tank + 4 Harbinger (Melee Mages), one day i may get there.

Also the first instance for Guardians is upper teens 15 x 5 is still a bit low.

Can clerics passive heal? That is what turned me on to them. I had a pally/4 Disc priest team and literally never had to cast a heal. Well, almost never.

There are degrees of passive healing that a cleric can do in multiple hybrid specs, all primarily based around the cleric tanking spec. If all your are looking for is passive healing while leveling then your in a good place with 4 mages, 4 Bards can also do the same as well, but they may frustrate people more due to being channeled, which is easily handled via ISboxer.

As meeo mentioned, multiple chloros or bards are a good choice.
My mixed group is warrior tank, cleric heals, 2 rogue MM, and a chloro for DPS/off heals ( passive ).
However, I have since moved to the 5 cleric team.

Also, make sure you guys beat the crap out of pinatas when you find them, lots of loot from previous events can be had.

Man, since i started re-leveling my Mixed team (Warrior, Cleric, 2 Rogues, 1 Mage), i've been smacking the crap outta these Pinatas. These things are amazing for loot when you get something good. I've been getting the cosmetics hats, pets, and glowly stuff that i missed from previous events.

Ill probably switch back to my 5xcleric team when i get my main cleric to 60, as my raid guild has lots of free epic lewtz for clerics, and all our clerics are geared.

Update on my new Cleric team. Took me a while to figure out which spec would be best for surviving dungeons. Still have super crappy gear except for a couple of planar pieces. I spec'd one cleric tank and the other 4 as defiler. Defiler seems to have decent healing spells and also okay DPS spells as well. I am staggering placement of Foul Growth on my tank then staggering the Loathsome healing thingy that triggers Fould Growth heal and it is working well! Takes me a while to down bosses but at least I don't wipe anymore.

My clerics run 5 inqusitor/wardens, with one have spec'd inquisicar(inquistor/justicar) for some tanking ability. I dont really heal much as i burn things down fast enough, or just kite things i cant kill before they get to me.

As aggro changes i basically hop to that toons machine to finish the kite, i usually try to pull 5 to 10 mobs, if their tethering lets me.
