Shaman pet dps is a joke, and animal charm even more so. Most shamans don't ever bother with it. First one is at lvl 29 and only works up to lvl 24 animals, so it's obsolete pretty much right away. The 34 spell works up to lvl 33 animals, which is obviously fine for a while but drops off pretty quickly.
What is the shaman doing before 40+, when it finally becomes worth casting slow? Crap dps and the same buffs a druid can offer.
If you're doing the unrest, mistmoore, CoM, KC route, or virtually any other standard ZEM-centric route, then druid will be a terrible choice. Let your druid pick the zones and you'll be pleasantly surprised when he matches the dps of your enchanter and necro while still providing sow/regen/etc.
Edit: and 6 second clicky snare is impractical for all the things that you actually need snare for. 6 seconds?
