Don't do it with regards to leveling. It'll be about the same, although the 60-70 experience is probably a little easier with a paladin to tank instances, but kiting works too.
Think about end-game goals.. if you love PvP, definitely roll 5 shammies. My pally is practically useless in BGs beyond buffs, occasional heal, a stun every now and then, a consecrate for distraction, and as a steady meatshield.
You don't need to kite until you hit heroic/70 instances anyway - with a few exceptions, elementals will be plenty for your tanking purposes and most of the time you don't need them
Just so I'm clear, you think that the benefits of 5 shammies in PVP outweighs the benefits of having a Pally in PVE?

I've been away from the game for a few months, before I left I spent most of my time just farming and doing AV. But if I'm going to 5-box, I see myself spending a lot of time clearing instances - it's one of the big draws to multi-boxing for me.

Thanks for the responses guys
