In any case, requiring the Enc to slow every mob, and the Necro to constantly maintain heals on the tank, just in order to add SK melee dps is probably not efficient. Maybe doable, but not necessarily efficient. Also remember that the SK will be buffless so he won't have a ton of HP to work with, and the Nec will also need to keep himself and the Enc healed on charm breaks.

Obviously play around with it, but my initial preference for this trio would still be fear kiting or pet tanking/swapping.
If they did this they did it very recently; the duo I describe earlier happened maybe three months ago, and I didn't have any buffs but my own. Keep in mind in an sk/nec duo you don't get any slows. I'm pretty sure you can still cancel magic the recourse.

It might not be as efficient as necro/enc duo but that in turn is not as efficient as clr/enc duo. The question wasn't how you could make a more efficient duo - if you're going to do that just tell them to reroll and their friend can sod off. They have what they have, and they can make it work just fine in a wide variety of places with slightly more effort.

They can take advantage of their SK by having him fd/snare pull to get singles, too.
