Now that my necro is catching up in level to our monk/sham, I wondered if I should consider using the Necro as the 3rd piece to this trio? Or, do you think my Monk is a better option to team-up with a Shaman and Paladin?

They will feel similar: in both cases you'll be pulling and providing DPS. For leveling the Necro will probably be substantially stronger. This trio is a nearly perfect opportunity for a Necro to flex their versatility:
- Completely adequate FD puller. Screaming Terror or Darkness lets you break doubles easily; send in stalking probes while FD for messier pulls.
- Permacharm undead for huge damage, or use charm as CC
- At 44+ your heals will take a lot of pressure off the Shaman's mana pool
- The 53 rogue pet will probably do almost as much damage as a poorly geared monk by itself
- Paladin/Shaman will provide plenty of time for dots to tick
- A few twitches will keep the Paladin's mana pool up for stuns against casters
Monk in contrast needs lots of high AC Dozekar loots, Primal, Epic, NTOV weapons, Bio orb, etc to really feel overpowered.
Paladins are also hugely underrated for leveling; the snap threat and HP buffs pair really well with both Shaman and Necro, and a few stuns and heals never hurt anyone. The big weakness will be mana regeneration without Clarity. Of course once you hit 60 both you and your Paladin friend will hate the raid game here, but then so does everyone else <shrug>
