Sounds good & keep us updated. I hope you have luck getting your Paladin to 60 fast as this approach really doesn't work well without Tankadin AoE at the core. Maybe a decked Warrior with Thunderfury & Force Reactive Disks shouting all the time with 3 Mages and a Paladin healer giving the Warrior Retribution Aura and the Mages Salvation could also pull it off but that just seems like more trouble that it would be worth.

If Chain Healing can keep up a full party in a large pull Heavy AoE environment I do think that Shaman could be superior with Tremor Totem (and Mage slows) and either extra spell damage or extra threat reduction as needed (plus all the other extra goodies). We could still use a Priest to give long lasting buffs before starting a grinding run with a Shaman so you wouldn't even have to totally give up those either...

Unfortunately with Blizzard giving us barely 2 weeks to level up Shaman/Paladins during the PrePatch and considering my work load & family demands I don't think it likely that I will be able to get a Shaman to 58+ before the portal opens so likely I will be going PaLLMPr also. The Priest tool kit is best suited for true AoE Healing so likely the safer bet for at least an initial team so I guess that is OK (even though I was hoping to try Shaman 1st).
