This.
Yes, it is _possible_ to do 5-shaman groups in Northrend dungeons.
BUT.
To do it, you'll have to bring the best possible gear AND macros/pets/consumables/etc. that set you up specifically for that (no tank) situation.
With bosses that are pure ezmode tank n spank, I could see you struggling through it once you got past the gear/level check. For bosses like Ingvar the Plunderer, I just can't see how you would successfully get through that fight as a 5-DPS group at level without spending money on shadow resist pots, raid-level consumables, twink-ish enchants on all your gear, Best-In-Slot gear for your level, etc. And it would seem to me to be paradoxical that you'd need BiS gear to defeat the bosses that give you the BiS gear.
I'd love to be proven wrong.
