The problem is that maximizing the potential of a Necro requires a combination of player skill, concentration and APM (actions per minute aka mouse clicking and button pressing) eclipsed only by Bards. Keeping your heals up on the tank alone and dispelling the recourse requires more APM that half the classes in the game, to say nothing of simultaneously managing a charm pet, CCing, pumping mana, throwing in nukes or DoTs when appropriate and always managing your own health/mana ratio. Most players simply cannot or will not (laziness) sustain that high level of play for long stretches of time. Much easier to fear kite or charm solo, or if grouping to just mail it in with lazy heals and a summoned pet.
So most people simply haven't ever grouped with a really good Necro and don't know what they're capable of in the hands of a good player. Thus the stereotype of Necros being exclusively a solo class persists.

Reverse charming as a necro will be the fastest class to reach 60 unless you use bard kiting or aoe chardok if that's still a thing.
Whenever I'd group as a higher level necro it would be for fun or loot. Exp is too good solo for grouping for exp to be a serious viable option.
But yeah a great group necro is the same activity as a great bard or shaman. Constant button pressing and managing things.
