Our team is a fully purped group. We have had a few different people go through the ranks, but we stay pretty consistent with classes. We typically don't run with Wizard and Monk
Here's what we run with (and why):
Barbarian - Our barbarian is a massive damage dealing machine. Coupled with the high HP, we find Barbarian must have. (Our Barbarian almost single handedly destroyed Smoak's Ioun Stone).
Bard - Our Bard is the party buffer. He makes sure to Bardsong, which allows us to maximize sliders. Soothe Wounds is highly effective in push or puzzle situations.
Cleric - Keeps us on our feet. Facilitates spell casting, allowing us maximum rounds in any combat.
Druid - still the most powerful character. Attack, Healing, Spell Surge,Damaging Spells, High AC. The character that can do it all.
Dwarf Fighter - With the high attack value, he is a consistent damage dealer. Coupled with Flank, he can do massive blows.
Elf Wizard - A wizard is a must. We use an Elf over the Human Wizard, because we find the spell list a bit better. Our Elf is also nearly indestructible: Gloves of Deflection, Ioun Stone Violet Prism, Dragon Tooth Necklace, Paladin Guard. (No damage from spells, melee or ranged)
Fighter - same as Dwarf Fighter, slightly higher hit percentage, and a lower crit damage.
Paladin - Tertiary healer, Guard (need that indestructible wizard), Detect Evil.
Ranger - As the Ranger, I have the highest damage output of the party. 2 pucks + high strength is amazing, and the 2 sliders allow for more bumping when needed. Ranged is a far 2nd to melee, even with the Mighty Longbow.
Rogue - Rogue Box is too important to pass up. Flank is a massive advantage in a heavy slider party. Backstab can be the single most devastating attack in TD.
We divide up into two groups: combat and spellcasters. We often will stop a combat round early if a crit, or other special thing happens (backstab, thinking we have enough damage to kill, etc). We always have a set order for sliding, and for spell casting.
