Is it possible with a few over 70s?

Assuming a:

70 prot pally who is geared for all black temple pre nerf
78 resto druid who is in mainly gear from BT and has INFINTITE mana
74 arms warrior who is in mainly 70-74 northrend blues + a few greens
74 BM Hunter in half t5ish epics + northrend blues
75 frost mage in half t5/t6 badge equivs + northrend blues; can bring in a 70 1000ish spell damage disc priest for those fights that need it

Think it's doable?
Here were my thoughts...

Bear: The druid wont oom, but seeing as my hp will only be like 18kish, think he can keep me up? I don't think beating the enrage will be a problem.

Eagle: Should be OK here I'd think. Not a hard fight

Lynx: As far as healers I think we'll be ok. The druid is a fantastic healer and I was two healed through this pre-nerf without a hunter's shot to remove his frenzy by t5ish healers.

Dragonhawk: Our aoe should be enough I'd think, and I'd have the arms warrior pick up the adds then just random aoe fest and hope people dont die. He has like 17k hp buffed, So I don't think him living will be a problem. Other than that this shouldnt be bad.

Hex: I'll just pick up all the adds. Then kill em.

ZJ: I dont see any major issues.

CC is really the biggest issue I see. I don't think we'll have trouble downing the dudes before the timers.

The only issues I'd worry about are the cleaves by bear and lynx boss. Not sure how much health a fury war has, but you'd need someone else in front with the pally tank.

[TheHonage]

He'll be 16k+buffed

[halfviking]

He'll be 16k+buffed

Yes, but the cleaves are 20k+.

Oh, forgot about the bear debuffs.

[Fridmarr]

He'll be 16k+buffed

Yes, but the cleaves are 20k+.

Oh, forgot about the bear debuffs.

They aren't 20k if they are split. It's not uncommon even at 70 to have used a prot tank plus a DPS tank for those encounters.

And that's what I was saying.

[TheHonage]

I'm giving them another 8 days to level, and then were going to try it, plus clearing SWP trash to get mah polearm before I start leveling up.

SWP will be a few more of us though, and all the dps will be CC.

[Dobbelsteen]

I 6 manned it at 70 and we got all 4 chests, killed all 6 with no wipes :p
2 healers, 1 sunwell geared shaman, 1 T5 priest
sunwell geared protection warrior (1k dps)
T5 shadow priest (me, 1300 dps)
Warglaive rogue doing crap dps (1600ish)
Pug warrior (1k dps)

so it should be even easier at higher levels.

[TheHonage]

OK, yeah, we can definately put out as much dps as that with 5 people.

you had 1000+1300+1600+1000 = 4900 as enough for 4 chests full clear

We'll switch the arms warrior to his prot gear, and though his hp wont be as high we will do a good amount of damage because his BV is great. He should be able to do 800-900 DPS

On the level 70 "heroic" test dummys I do 1350dps in ret, so I should be able to do at least that on bosses (since I'm hit/expertise capped, and that dummy doesnt count that 40% dot from crits (I forget its name).

The hunter and frost mage will break 1400.
