You are forgetting Shaman pets.
Shaman pet's mana-free DPS >> Any dot DPS a druid is going to be using.
Really the only benefit I see to a druid over a shaman in that duo is the snare and track. If you are going to be dungeon crawling, you are sure as hell going to want shaman slows over anything a druid can offer. Combine that with the fact that SHM and NEC have the best mana regen in the game. I would definitely prefer a SHM over a DRU if I was a NEC. Druid is going to do nothing but slow down a NEC.

What i was hinting at is that outdoors a druid and shammy are pretty on par in terms of necro duoing, and indoors a necro would do worlds better with a monk than a shaman. All the utility in the world can't match the fact that a monk/nec combo can simply feign and laugh at the trains that go rolling by in Chardok/CoM/Seb/Karnors/etc.
In fact, the main reason a necro duos with anyone outdoors is to have someone else pull for them, and to snare mobs and not waste necro mana on dooming, which is why i'd rate a druid or wizard higher than a shaman (track/port/regen/SLN for druid, port/flux staff for the wizard). Added bonus : both wiz + druid can invis (without killing a pet) while looking for pulls. If you're actually insane enough to be using skyfire as your solo spot (and please, god don't), wizards generally rate even higher, since a druid is far less likely to have jboots and will get positively raped by chromodrac adds.
We're talking min-maxing bs here. I've obviously duo'd with shaman many, many times and it's worked out quite fine.
