considering 5 boxing, advice on my intention?

You have a good class setup for future solo play. When you get to 80 and start gearing up in Heroics you may want to switch the class roles of the priest and shaman. It is much easier to manage a shaman healer (IMO) than a priest healer in a multibox setup.

Priests have so many AOE healing options it's ridiculous. No class can spam heal up your entire team more easily than a priest, and you have the biggest single target heal in the game for when your tank is taking all the hits. You have an AOE "oh shit" healing button, an AOE mana regen button, Prayer of Mending which will bounce around the group, a HOT which heals instantly, inspiration, and three AOE heals, two of which are instant cast. I can't even imagine the argument in favor of a shaman healer over a priest. People use the shaman healers because we on this site tend to gravitate towards the class in general for overall play in PVP and PVE. If he's just doing PVE, priest all the way! I know it's just an opinion, but I feel very strongly about this. To me it's like someone arguing that 5x mages is better than 5x shamans in 5v5 arena team.
