Personally, the strongest comp I have found at endgame is 5x Spriest for soloing, with holy nova instead of disc talents.
Cuts thru every dungeon like butter, easiest and smoothest runs I have ever run, on any comp, in any expansion. Stack mana instead of +damage for efficiency and its super easymode.

Do Shadow Priests need to drop ShadowForm to cast Holy Nova?
What talent build(s) do you recommend in classic (do all 5 run the exact same build)?
I had always heard they had mana issues. Do you know of any videos of 5boxers of Shadow Priests doing full clears of then end game dungeons in classic?

Been debating 5 Spriest for a while, reading that means i have to try.
@nodoze Yes, no Holy spells in shadow form only, disc and shadow.
I got intimidation on a Roundrobin on a button and only used as needed.
All in all, I still see no competition to MMMMP, levelling hunters was fun, but just one hunter dying is a horrible experience, having a resser in team is almost a must I've found.
(x5 priests sounds like my next team)
I guess then for a 5box ShadowPriest group the Holy Nova would only be for when the shit hits the fan.
The idea of 5 ShadowPriests each giving the full party 30% of their Shadow Damage as party-wide healing sounds pretty powerful though I have always heard they had mana issues.

Care to elaborate?
I'm very curious as to howit is done as well. Would love to see how he ripping through dungeons. I stopped my team in the 50's and had a much different experience in dungeons. The class mechanics were the problem, being extremely inefficient at both mana and aoe. Dot spreading was slow and holy nova was too costly. They had great survivability but you flop the moment you run out of mana and mana was certainly an issue. Just how much more mana can you stack at max level? Spriests mana was designed around spirit tap, and sadly the mechanic doesnt work well as a boxer. It was great for slow relaxing small pulls, but i felt clear times would double if i had even 1 single mage in the group. Maybe at 60 and geared you can just walk the whole dungeon through just spreading dots? There's a lot of mechanics that would seem to prevent this but i have no clue i havent see it attempted.
In pvp it's a different story, 5spriests dominate.
I'd be interested in more info here as well. I just started multiboxing and am using my warlock (full T2 level gear) to power level a WMMP team with the lock making the 5th team member and it's just painfully slow doing this without a max level mage... (team is 27 now)... So I'm only doing it on full rest
With that being said, the prospect of 4 SP and my warlock is intriguing after reading this post... Perhaps for level 60 5man content it might be more feasible to go 2 SP, soul link lock, disc priest and holy priest... With the disc priest primarily doing dmg and shielding (and PI the lock) and the holy priest handling the majority of healing...would love to hear specifics on the 5 shadow priest set up though.
If you want to lead with an uber geared lock you may be better served with a Holy Paladin healing him and giving him Concentration Aura making his Searing Pain (with the PVP gloves) and AoE immune to pushback.
Warlock-Tank+Paladin-Healer+3ShadowPriest (if their mana isn't an issue).
More details on leveraging a Warlock as Tank here (most feasible for Alliance):

I would love to, unfortunately I'm horde (but I'll definitely put a paladin tank in play for TBC). Thank you for the resources though.
