[Classic] Good farming team?

[nodoze]

Really been struggling to decide in terms of best for farming.

4 War/Sham
1 Druid/3War/Sham
1 Druid/3Mage/Sham or Priest

...

If we are strictly talking what is the theoretical best 5 boxing dungeon clearing team for any/all circumstances I think the proto-typical design is:

-1 Tank;
-3 DPS;
-1 Healer;

With that in mind for strictly most efficient Dungeon clearing for those 3 roles I would recommend:

-1 Tank: Paladin (or Druid if Horde though Warrior may also be an option);
-3 DPS: Mages (though having at least 1 Warlock gives utility/buffs);
-1 Healer: Priest Dwarf/Undead (though Paladins & Shamans are good options with pros/cons);

The biggest thing I like about the above party composition is that it gives great Area of Effect (AoE) Threat, AoE Damage, and AoE healing options in addition to single target options and from a boxer perspective likely gives more simple & consistent timings, rotations, management, & positioning than other options.

I think the Alliance option is overall best because the Paladin tank seems the best for maintaining threat on the largest number of targets as well as being able to reduce the other party member's threat if that is an issue and the Paladin can self clear poison letting the Priest clear magic & disease and the Mages clear Curses.

I love druids and druids are probably my favorite overall class but, while they can be solid healers with a nice long cool-down combat rez, they lack a regular rez makes me hesitant to have them as the party's single healer. I guess they can be a good option if you have things fully on farm and rarely if ever wipe and/or if you can leverage another team member as a rezzer (like a Paladin).

Druids Tanks also have strong AoE threat but on fewer targets and also can't reduce the aggro of their teammates and while they they can theoretically self-clear both Poisons & Curses I believe they have to shift to do so which can be dangerous...

In the end there are lots of options and what is theoretically best may not necessarily be the best for your personal play-style, preferences, and/or skill level and/or the specific content you are targeting. If you want to consider various options you may want to review the following chart regarding who can clear which debuffs:

TLDR:
From your options I think on the Horde side the most efficient overall 5-boxing option for clearing dungeons for the average person is:

-Druid/3Mage/Priest (or Paladin instead of Druid if Alliance);

Though personally I would at least substitute a Warlock for a Mage...

The above being said I have concerns you maybe asking the wrong question or at least not be considering all needs... If you are interested in how I would recommend deciding on what your main 5 box party composition should be I would read the following:
