It depends on the specific design. If it's wordy and document-like (eg: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/ http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/) then it may be better to bypass Photoshop and start writing the HTML/CSS, since Photoshop is ill-suited for mocking up those kinds of designs.
On the other hand, if it's more graphical (eg: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop) then I'd agree that Photoshop is absolutely necessary.
