I would not recommend 4 Warriors + Healer for WPVP... 3Warriors+2Paladins is best with maybe shaman or priests being second for a melee team...
I would wait for someone like Zal to give feedback on 5 Shaman as I am pretty sure he is one of the people doing that for WPVP and wishes he had done a different team to cap first for dungeon clearing... It think it is doable but slow on an all Shaman team.
Ultimately it comes down to whether you care what character is your main... If you don't really care then personally I would look at 4 Warlocks+Priest as you should be able to clear everything and be great for WPVP... Personally I have 5 teams of 4 Warlocks+Priest that I am working on periodically when not focused on my main 3W+2P team... They are easy to level and I plan to use them for passive crafting cooldowns at level 35+ and likely will take at least one to 60 for Large Scale WPVP (and with 3-4 pet tanks should be able to clear all dungeons).
The following is a good discussion of optimal options for large scale WPVP teams:

Note that I boxed 10 Shaman in BC for WPVP but in Classic I am thinking Priest+4Warlocks is simpler and maybe overall better for most people. If I understand the pros/cons correctly the big reason that compositon is better for many people is because Warlocks can cast more while on the move and don't need to be facing their target.
Personally if my brother and I didn't want both Paladins & Warriors for mains I likely would be just doing Priest+4Warlocks.
