I think you mean Shadowfang Keep, which iirc is a level 20-25ish instance, comes after Wailing Caverns

btw, this site is really handy, click on the class, then you can choose "pre-expansion" lists to see the instances in order, and what gear from each is suited to your character

I would do 1 healer 4 damage dealers .

I admit the thought of 5 locks crossed my mind. But like with anything, a healer is needed. Take in the account a single healer and the value that brings to the group.

A 5 lock combo would be REALLY easy to manage and fun. However with a pocket healer there you can do a lot more. For one you will always being able to rez your entire group. Having 4 Soul Stones for your priest per half hour is awesome. Never make a corpse run again!

If your set on full out damage, you could at least go shadow and get 15% bonus per lock for damage. Least the healing is there. Plus you'd have a mana battery while you level.

Something to consider x4 hellfires while aoe spam healing on the holy Priest Mmmm bbq.

Concerning those aoe spots:
I have tried a few of them but found that most of them (with a few exceptions like tanaris pirates and murlocs in the swamps of sorrows) are simply empty after 3 pulls with a 5 box team - the respawn is not fast enough. They are great for 1 or 2 mages though.
