There is also the option to just multibox exclusively warriors and find a seperated healer for the back up. That would probably work best.

After all I think that just like in TBC and Wotlk, the classic 4 ele shami and healer setup will be the best comb in PvP. Holy paly seems mandatory for that setup because of imp concentration aura.
It's interesting that the shami sets have mixed stats of strength and sp. It might be a option to play a ele/enh hybrid build just like 31/20/00. Close by opponents could be killed with a two hander that is imbued with WF and hard to reach opponents with lightning spells.
Big reason why Ele shamans were popular, is we didn't have IWT. Casters auto turned to cast, hunters and melee didn't, so without IWT they were effectively terrible.

People are underestimating the effectiveness of warriors here I think, and perhaps hunters, since we will have IWT. 4 warriors barreling into a group out in the world is going to kill people so fast, that even if a mage scuttles away to drop blizzard snares, or a warlock starts fearing people off, the damage is going to be done quickly. This isn't going to be arena PvP, where everyone is ready, with their arena frame mods etc.

In fact, 5 hybrid druids would be utter hilarity. If world PvP is your goal, you'd probably be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable group than 5 druids, or maybe 1 rogue and 4 druids. Feral charge out of stealth, regrowths out the wazoo, bash, etc etc. Although now that I think of it, 2005 was like the golden age of the hybrid druid builds, and I'm not sure if they were nerfed by summer 2006
