Hopefully I'm not getting carried away here, but I was thinking about adding 2 more shamans in another group for 2 goals:

Goal 1: I can do a 5 man Shaman pvp group in bg's and arena
Goal 2: both Shamans could serve as replacements for other folks in the group if required.

What do you guys think?

Using your 3 shaman plus any other DPS in a PVP arena might be a lot better than giving yourself even more characters to gear up. Keep in mind that you can buy PVP gear with badges, and high-end PVE gear is still good in PVP, it's just not ideal because you'll get crit a lot. But it'll be a lot better than taking two blue/green shamans in with you.

Hmm, sounds interesting on both accounts. I guess I can't truly know how I want my group composition to be until I do a few raid instances.

I have 2 very nice comps so the plan was to have 2 seperate keyboards and mice and run 5 accounts on each machine. My goal right now is to hit 80 after that I will do some older raids to try and figure out what works best for my current setup. I'm sure I will have 100 questions after my first raid.

For the PvP side of things, I didn't realize you could buy pvp gear with badges. I have never had a toon at 80. I was under the assumption from some of my research that it's always better to have the least amount of classes in pvp. Having all one class, I figured, was the best route to go. So using, say for instance, 3 Shamans and 2 locks would work as well?

The PVP gear you get with badges isn't the top tier, but it's still decent. The advantage to all one class is that it's easier to micromanage, the reason you might use your two locks would be because you might spread yourself too thin if you try to level and gear up a 10 box raid team and 2 extras at the same time, but it's up to you. I'm sure you can make things work that way. I would think that you would want to have a hardware link between the two computers to send signals from keyboard 1 to both machines as well, although having the second mouse and keyboard to make each team do somethig different can be extremely useful, too, and is a great idea!
