ideal groupFollow

I'd go with a warrior, mage, necromancer, beastlord, enchanter, and a druid.

You've got heals, crowd controls, slows, hastes, ports, sow, plus lots and lots of dps

Hmmm cleric, necro, enc huh? I'd go with some sort of a tank(warrior, shadowknight, paladin) to hold aggro, then 2 more dps classes. If you are talking about putting together a long term group, I'd suggest either a druid or wizard, as ports can save a lot of time. So put in your choice of either of those for the fifth slot, and grab one last dps class for the sixth(I'd choose a beastlord, but that's for personal reasons, and she wouldn't be the last member of my group choosen either) and final slot.

Really you can't go wrong no matter what you choose since you have the basic support classes covered already. Even skipping the tank entirely and doing 3 more pet classes would be a workable situation.

Most of these groups would be best for 50+ groups but would work for just about any level.

Kite group. 5 necro's and Me =)

actually have been in this type of group before in PoV. Never killed stuff so fast in my life =)

Ldon group.

1. Pally/sk (tank), any 2 DPS classes (including necro mage along with all other melee's), Cleric, shaman, enchanter

I only wish all my groups were like this =).

PoP group

War/SK/Pally (tank), Ranger/Monk (puller), Shaman, Cleric, Enchanter, and of corse Mage/necro/beast (pets always good to have in case you need to pet pull)

IMO the best all around group would be

Sk (tank)
Ranger (cuz me like rangers)
monk/rogue (dps)
Enchanter (boon/ubah haste/crowd control)
Shaman (slows and buffage)
Cleric (to heal my busted ranger butt =)

Perfect group for me is 6 people who work as part of a team, when they group.
Who know what their class can and can't do, who know the basics of what all the other classes can and can't do and who will do as the Group Leader ask them, with out arguing the point.

One good puller, who can bring a new mob into camp, just as the previous one dies.
A good MA/MT who can keep agro.
Good melee who know to assist the MA/MT.
Good casters who know how to wait a little, before nuking, so the chance of getting agro is small.
A healer who uses a heal hotkey, so the rest of the group don't have to guess who is getting the next heal.
A player who doesn't run around in circles, while the tanks try and get the mob off them... (very annoying)
People who don't use AOE DD spells and keep wondering why they get lots of nasty agro.

Ok... ok...
Give me five Beastlords and a Druid/Cleric

Tank: Shadowknight.
Healer: Cleric
Utility 1: Shaman
Utility 2: Bard
DPS 1 : Rogue
DPS 2 : Mage

My thoughts are:
Tank:
Sk for Tank due to snares, Aggro management and at high level pet pulls, while Pallies are also good at pulling after 60ish they drop off and with a bard in the group your ok for most pulls anyway. Warriors while better dps and mitigation they don't add that little something 'Extra' to a group.
healer
Clerics are best period. Sorry druids and Shammies but if i have a choise i am taking the cleric.
Utility:
Shammy for slows/haste, Bard for Crowd control basicly, the reason i take those two is because of what they can do in ADDITION however. With a Bard i now have the best puller in the game, mana regen staking haste, combat buffs, DPS, tracking in a smal form. With a shammy i get backup healer, Dots, a Pet and buffs that stck with the clerics.
DPS:
I like rogues for some reason so i take them if i have a DPS slot open, the DPS with no requirement of components or mana from lvl 10 is huge and Pick Lock is nice to get into places that others fear to tread. Mages give me better sustained DPS with pets and CoH should not be underestimated, they also have UBer DS.

Here endth the drivel.
