Our current party is: 1 Paladin 1 Cleric 1 Warlock 1 Rogue 1 Wizard
I think we could manage without a cleric on some encounters (those second winds and healing surges are nice) but when we're fighting a big-bad-thing or a big-bad-thing and his buddies the healing is REALLY helpful - because the wizard's cc (when he actually HITS) doesn't mean much against a big monster o'doom. There have been several encounters where, without my healing word and splashing temporary hit points we'd have been screwed - but the GM may emphasise more swarm battles in that case.
