My current group is Pally (67/Prot), Priest (67/Holy), Druid (67/Balance), Shammy(70) and Mage (70/Fire).
I had been running my mage (70) as my main before I stumbled on boxing.
I started with dual-boxing (shammy + druid) and had a blast. Like many before, dual-boxing lead to quin-boxing.
Once I started quin-boxing, I began leveling the 4 drones (pally+druid+priest+shammy) switching between boosting from the mage (which gets boring) and questing (without the mage in the group). As the team was different levels, I did this until each char reached 58 (when a char hit 58, it was left out of the group - building rest xp).
Once they were all 58, I started into outlands again questing (without mage) and running ramps, etc. (with mage). The shammy hit 70 ahead of the rest given rest xp (I also wanted a melee dps to run with my mage for dailies, so shammy as enhancement got some extra tlc). I hope to finish getting the rest of the group to 70 in next few weeks.
Setup - some people have said it takes crazy micro-management to run such i diverse team. I do not feel that is the case.
When in a full 5man group - pally is the main using the standard action bar (1 to = and the occasional mouse click). I use "A" to assist pally on the 3 ranged dps (mage, druid and shammy) and "s" to cast. I use F1 to F5 to heal, with F6 as an AoE heal. So basically, i have three main things to think about. Other keys are setup to shiled priest or drop totems (but nothing overly complicated). I look at it more like i am tri-boxing then quin-boxing - tank/heals/dps. Things like follow, mount, etc. are typical of any team.
