Methinks actual game experience will make them reevaluate that mix. No raid I've ever been in has lamented having only 3 pallies as long as there were priests and druids to take those spots. In fact, having only two pallies just meant having to make decisions on blessings: one for might or wisdom, one for kings or salvation.
Why have four pallies spamming FOL when one pally and one greater heal specced priest accomplish the same thing? Much is said of paladin's efficiency, but that advantage becomes moot with gear: I don't think many shamans will complain about mana when they're sporting Earthshatter.
Really, the thing that drains healer mana much more than any mob is that hideous invention, the Emergency Monitor. And lord knows, no one abuses it more than FOL spamming paladins. You will learn this :P
