Yes that is the whole point. You ideally level as a team of Prot Paladin+4 Shaman from 60-70 but if not then you get a base set of gear from the AH with the appropriate stats at whatever level you are and if needed start with the lower level non-heroics until you get increasingly better gear then go into the Heroics and get pre-Raid Best in Slot (BiS) gear.
For both the Paladin & the Shaman you gear them first with gear from regular dungeons, Auction House, reputations, badges, & Quests and then start focusing on Heroics. Basically follow the pre-raid Best-in-Slot (BiS) gearing guides (ideally including close alternates) for each class as your targets.
This guide may help you plan out which dungeons to do in which order to max out reps to get to 70:

The TBC_Leveling tab in particular gives you some info on the order & quantity of runs of dungeons on the TBC_Leveling tab to pursue.
The following "Prot_Paladin_preR_BiS" tab gives an example of how well you should be able to gear your Paladin from everything except Raids (you can also include some BoE raid items that are typically available on the AH):

If you don't have a particular BiS item just use the Seventy Upgrades link to get the best readily available option with as similar stats as you can until you can upgrade it...
I included my recommended specs for Paladin on the above tab. For the Shaman just the regular leveling & at spec guides should be sufficient although I personally would try to fit in things that take less attention (like for example the auto-proc healing & threat reduction for Resto that happens when reduced below 30%)... I would start with the ones from WoWhead:
For example for your healer Shaman the following is the list they have:

From that list, without going into Raids, your gearing could focus on this preRaid BiS:

Consult for your phase any new BoE gear you can get from the AH or badge gear not updated in the above guide for example:
https://tbc.wowhead.com/guides/shama...urning-crusade
Similarly, for your Elemental Shaman, a good list of guides is here:
https://tbc.wowhead.com/guides/classes/shaman/elemental
From that list, without going into Raids, your gearing could focus on this preRaid BiS:
