An elegant example of the raid to 5-man redesign is Harbinger Skyriss. He has almost all the same abilities as Prophet Skeram, toned down to a 5-man setting. Mind Control plus a boss might be too overpowering, so fear is used instead. Spam AE and Earth Shock are removed as it might be too effective against a group with only 5 targets. And to further Douglas's idea, we have Millhouse Manastorm helping us out. Every PUG I've done with newbies all comment on how Millhouse is comical and adds so much to the encounter's feel.
Not every encounter is so streamlined in conversion, but there is precedent on both fronts to how it can be done, and done well.
