Maybe I'm biased (with a Shaman as my main), but ...
* Beastlords were a Monk/Shaman hybrid, so if you don't want to play Monk then Shaman would seem like the next logical choice
* Shaman are the only class out of the ones you listed with a summonable and controllable pet (Druids and Enchanters can both charm pets, and Enchanters get a non-controllable summonable pet)
* Shaman are awesome in the Project 1999 era (and, especially at the higher levels, are awesome soloers)
