It depends entirely on what play style you prefer. Both classes are incredibly fun. Shamans end up a lot more of a powerhouse class than SKs.
If you like swinging a blade, having a get out of jail card (FD), some limited solo power with fear kiting, and face tanking for groups (and occasionally raids) ... play the SK.
If you like slowing, buffing/debuffing, healing, canni-dancing, and soloing (after you get the right spells and pieces of gear) ... play the shaman.
Or just make a shaman and a sk, play them both ... and figure out your preferences over time. They're completely different classes. I've made a few classes over the last 18 months, each with a different aspect of gameplay. When I get bored of one ... I'll just log in the others to do something different.
