not necessarily.
The only advantage 5 Pally's have is that you can spec 5 tanks and gain supreme survivability at the cost of massive DPS loss. A lot of boxers enjoy brute forcing mechanics with 5 tanks, but when you reach a DPS requirement they get roadblocked. Pally + 4 Shaman gives you the choice of melee or ranged DPS. Pally + 4 Shaman gives you the utility of 2 classes. Shaman dps specs heal much better than Ret.
Neither outpaces the other when it comes to potential due to having a decent trinity setup available, and both are top tier class comps.
Anything could change due to Blizzard fumbling balance changes. We could end up with Enhance/Ele being way overtuned or a potato spec.
