Good 5 man comps purely for pve / dungeon leveling

The above responses are really good. I would not recommend a melee team for your first team.

If you are only having one single group to cap I would do:

Tank+2Mages+Warlock+Healer

DPS being ranged is much easier overall than melee/hunters and 3 Mages, 3 Warlocks, or any mix can work. Mages are best DPS (but more squishy) though many people really value having 1 Warlock in the party which is why I recommended that comp above.

Any Tank (Warrior, Druid, Paladin) works fine for Dungeons. Warrior is needed if you think you want to try to be a Raid Tank sometime and likely the best for a single Tank role in a dedicated party though I personally prefer Paladin or Druid as they can both serve multiple roles and I especially prefer Paladin for Dungeon Tank.

Any Healer (Priest, Shaman, Paladin, Druid) works. Priest is the proto-typical and best overall though any can work if you want one of the others to be your main for raiding or what not and/or need something besides a priest for some reason.

With all the above in mind, if I was forced to do a single set of 5 characters to cap with no other characters ever, for my goals I would do:

Paladin+2Mages+Warlock+Druid

Best of luck to you.

I fully agree with this suggestion:
No melee team as a new multiboxer.

tank + healer + 3 casters (2x mages + 1 wl or 3 mages)
have the most advantages

tank:
paladin - if you play alliance for easier aoe tanking and if want to play tbc
warrior - you can get very good tankgear in ZG or if you want to raid as a tank or dd in mc + bwl
druid - a little better aoe threat then warrior, but not as good as a paladin, motw,

healer:
shaman - if you play horde and your main farm is DME, improved chance to get a raidspot for shaman healer or if you want to play tbc
priest - sta buff and shield for casters, you can buy bis healing staff from another mc raid
paladin - if you play alliance and no paladin tank, kings or aggro reduce for caster
druid - not recommended because you have no ressurection (or you play with paladin tank)

caster:
2x mages + 1 wl - have more utility (port, soulstone, healthstone, + sta buff, fire shield or aoe tank if you play SL)
3x mages - more aoe and single target damage (especially if you play fire mages)
