King camp is one of the harder camps in the game, so people generally want an optimized group:

1) Solid tank (60 War/Shd/Pal)
2) Healer (60 Cleric)
3) Slower (60 Shaman, with Torpor for backup healing)
4) Puller (60 Monk, though I have seen a skilled Bard pull)
5) CC (60 Enchanter)
6) DPS (the one "not picky" slot)

If you're trying to build an optimal trio a good enough monk might be able to tank and pull, a Torpor Shaman can heal and slow (I've done it, but it's riskier), and an Enchanter with a pet can CC while adding some pretty solid DPS.

If you're trying to do a Shm/Nec/? trio the Shaman needs Torpor, the Necro needs to learn how to pull, and you need an Enchanter. You'll have to get creative and use an Enchanter pet as a tank.

Or you'll need a Bard; a really good one can pull and CC and maybe even tank. Or a good monk could pull and tank, but then the Necro will need to do root CC and everyone will have to be careful not to damage anything except the main mob (or else they'll summon and root CC won't work).

I'm not guaranteeing that Shm/Nec/Enc or Shm/Nec/Bard or Shm/Nec/Monk can do it, but I'd bet with the right people behind them it could work. And on the plus side if you wipe and don't mind using soul gems the Necro should be helpful in recovery. Or, if the Shaman has his FD ring from Sky, and you have a Monk as the third, your whole group could Feign Death if things go south.

There might be other class combos that work too, but they key thing is you need all the roles I described filled, at least in some half-assed way. And the more half-assed it is, the riskier the whole thing gets, which means that pretty much any trio, even an optimal one, is playing with fire.
