Well, me and my brother played through the entire series, but that was with only one character each. I had a F/M/C and he had a F/T, and it was pretty smooth sailing.

That sounds like a pretty well rounded party. I would try a Berserker kit on one of the half-orcs, or else you're going to be in a tight squeeze for appropriate and powerful armor. I've become a fan of multi-class or dual-classed thieves as being the main one in a party. Currently I have a high-level Swashbuckler->Cleric dual that I think could wind up being unbelievably powergamish. If you want my idea on a powergaming party, using about those parameters.

Half-Orc Barb (Axes & Scimitars)
Half-Orc Barb [or Berserker] (Long Swords & Katanas)
Half-Elf Ranger/Cleric (Flails & Hammers)
Elf Sorceror (SotM)
Half-Elf Wild Mage (whatever, probably Daggers)
Half-Orc Fighter/Thief (Two-Handed Swords and Staffs)

That's gonna get really sick powerful. I'm a proponent of having one regular-type mage, to keep a bunch of spells known so if you need an uncommon one for a particular encounter, it's available. If you're heartily opposed to Wild Mages, then a Conjurer would be good too.
