Obviously a healer (priest, or shammy does a good job too), and a tank (warrior, druid), and then in 5 man groups we usually have a warlock (for pure dps, and to help with adds and general crowd control), and two randoms, a 2nd healer or tank would be great, but anything will do, a mage, rogue, hunter, etc...

Pretty boring really.....but boring makes the job easy so hey....

Why do so many people discriminate against rogues online? I never have a problem joining a group or running an instance. I always sap well and lead in the damage meters. Sure I can't do much else, but why isn't that good enough for everybody else. I've been in plenty of groups where it was a bad healer, bad tank that made us wipe. But never the rogue (Although I ALMOST did once, but not because I was a rogue, but because it was my first run and didn't know what was going on).

Rogues need more lovin'.

For 5 mans:

Pally tank (makes multi-mob pulls SO much easier, plus provides blessings)
Fire mage (sheepy sheep sheep)
resto shaman (earth shield + totems)
combat rogue (sap + high DPS)
Affliction warlock (great DPS + CC + AoE)

in 5 mans nothing can beat

paladin prot tank
holy priest
2 fire mages
1 warlock

get the tank to consecrate the ground, build up some agro then unleash the combined aoe power of 3 locks/mages and wipe 10+ elites at a time. also very handy crowd control if things go pete tong.

5 Man -

Warrior Tank (Most Versitile Tank, fast pulls)
Paladin Healer (Best 5 Man Healer)
Shadow Priest (Mana Regen and AoE healing when needed, support and direct damage)
Warlock (CC, Shadow Priest Synergy, and High DPS)
Hunter (Good range control, CC, High DPS)

(One could argue a great mage in for the hunter, but I'm a big fan of the misdirects and agro wipes of a hunter)

Lol no mention of a warrior in the above posts *sniff sniff*. I've been in a few groups where i've thought "oh no, this isn't going to work". But i gave the group a chance and it's paid off big time. Best combination i've had so far in heroics are as follows: Druid tank, two hunters, Priest & me "dps warrior". Completed every heroic we entered and i managed to get enough nethers in that run to complete my Lionheart Champion :)

I like to run my shammy with a priest, a druid, a pally, and a mage. Makes for a fun mix of stuff flying around. The priest, pally, and mage do pretty much the same thing all the time. Druid tanks/heals and shammy secondary tanks, heals, and mops up runners... works well for me! :)

Or you could just go with 5 warlocks, since they're overpowered anyway... lol... just kidding. I only wanted to poke fun... :P
