You mention melee synergy, and I agree, its the reverse sometimes. It made me wonder about healer synergy. Honestly, we pretty much screw our healers out of any.
As a raid, we have tended to focus on high DPS, and spread healers around however will best boost raid DPS except on a very, very small number of fights where it is all about healing...ok, the only exception for us is Najentus, where DPS is fairly irrelevant (you can either stabalize the raid after a tidal shield, or not - if you can, you can do it nearly forever).
Last night we had a strange raid make-up for vashj + gorefiend (first kill! still excited), particularly with me spec'd holy instead of my usual prot, and we had 5 healadins, one resto shaman, one tree. Group 5 was 4 paladins and one unlucky soul stuck there and destined to get no buffs. Enjoy group 5, paladins =)
