They've fixed the numbers this time, and it works out to be basically 2+2 -> 3+5, with two of the hybrids going dps once you hit 25-man content.

Full tank + feral druid/DK + AE healer + single-target healer seems to be a solid 10-man comp. Extend that to raid, and you end up with 2 full tanks + 2 hybrids (DK/feral) + 3-4 AE healers + 1-2 single-target. Priests are good at being both, so you probably want 1-2 priests, 1 druid, 1 paladin, and 1-2 resto shaman. I love resto druids, but they bring less to the raid after the first one than a resto shaman does. Mana Spring is amazing now, and you really want to be able to build 3 full groups around a shaman.

You can also bring 6 healers without too much hassle: just make sure one of them is a druid/shaman with boomkin/ele gear that they can use for sub-par dps. Very few fights actually require 6 healers.
