The easiest path a new-to-the-server Shaman would take to get Torpor, would be to get into a raiding guild and hope it gets awarded to him, but this may not appeal to you if you play casually yknow?
On the flip side, you pretty much always have to be grouped as a Cleric in order to have something to do in EQ. Even at 60 without a duo partner there just isn't really much you can do beyond standing in the tunnel and looking cool. So at 60, as a Shaman, at least you can occupy yourself with "trying to get a Torpor scroll" if that makes sense :]
The likleihood of a casually played Cleric becoming a badass (and come on now, that's why we all play this game) is a lot higher than a Shaman, but the Shaman might be a bit more fun for the casual type player to play because they can solo?
They're both really fun classes though. You can't go wrong.

i played a cleric on blue 1-57. would not do again, it is just mindnumbingly (is that a word?) boring. either you are perma oom, or you dont heal at all ad just sit there. sometimes you get a decent group that requires attention and thats when its fun to be a cleric.
in general tho i do agree with everything xaanka has said
