Whereas if you go for e.g. 3 different casters you can macro the very basic spells first as you progress through the dungeons and work from there to further optimise your setup.

If you have no clue about how most classes work, you might want to stick with a more uniform setup. If you do have some experience (read: if you are not complete garbage at the game in single player mode) there is for starters little difference between running tripple ele shamans or an ele/arcane mage/hunter as your dps.
I would say the amount of people that are able to start multiboxing a tank/dps/healer comp for their first team (w/o any real headaches) on day one are < 10%.

When I say "basics" I mean multiboxing basics, not class basics. Follow, assist, interact with target, etc -- This doesn't take 74 levels to get used to. Once someone is comfortable with those basics, then they can move on to bigger and better things like mixed teams and what not; but I always recommend that new multiboxers create at least one throwaway team that they can just mess around on and learn how to fix things when they screw them up.

I have to agree with zenga here and say that those new dungeons are easily do-able w/o heirlooms. Here's a fairly old test video I did in Scarlet Halls back in March while leveling an old abandoned set of RaF. I don't do a straight up gear-check for the camera, but when I loot the Houndmaster and swap to my Holy Paladin, you can see that he has no heirlooms on. This is also true for the rest of the team.

I have a video recorded (but not uploaded) of Scholomance as well, but it's much more recent and I was wearing heirlooms; but my stance doesn't change for that instance either. If you have a good setup where you can easily utilize your team's potential, then I'm going to be bold and say that there is no 5-man instance that cannot be done while leveling, or otherwise.
