This might be a little unorthodox, but I'm running a 4E two-shot for our group and I kinda wanted to make sure I'm not gonna slaughter them with these encounters.

Group is 5 level 5's
Controller Druid, Chaos Sorcerer, Mega-Healer Cleric, Mega Tank Warden, Rogue. All are kinda well made and the team works great together. Their tactics are pretty impressive. And the healer is insane. One of his at will is something like if he hits, and then you hit, you gain back like some 25 HP or something.

Focusing my attention on the party's level, and the level of the monsters and their number, these encounters should be reasonable, and not impossible.

If things end up more difficult than you expected, you could take away some HP from monsters, limit the use of their stronger powers, or just kill off a monster or two.
