I still think you're overstating the case for shaman before 50+, and only then because a) there aren't many spots for druids to shine in pet groups the way they do pre-50, and b) the necro pretty much has to charm at this point.

Off the top of my head, from 34+, you've got SolB, kedge, OT,and EJ with druid charmable pets. Are DL cockatrices druid-charmable? There's probably many more. The list gets very short from 50+.

A shaman will bring no dps to the group. Slowing is a more general-purpose form of damage control than snare/fear, since you can do it anywhere and on almost anything, but it's certainly not more efficient. Even with canni, clarity, regen-line, etc. a shaman won't have the mana to do much more than keep buffs up, spot heal during/after charm breaks, and slow mobs. If he does, you're pulling/killing too slowly, which I expect will be the case.

So which class will be the best addition to this group? Not just for 50+ and in the most overcrowded, overcamped dungeon spots using tactics meant for groups with tanks, but from the ground up and by whatever means best fit the trio? Dr00d.
