Yeah a Moonkin along with 4 Shaman should still be able to pull off heroics. One thing about Moonkins is that their damage is a lot more burst damage via Starfire crits. Due to the slow casting time of Starfire over all your DPS will hurt but when you count in crits you should see the moonkin top the charts dps wise. I would lead with Moonkin doing Starfire for sure. A moonkin should be able to take a couple more hits than a shaman even with a shield. The biggest problem is the timing difference between Starfire and LB.
