Find a shaman to duo with, it'll be fine. Have duoed basement with monks a few times, and it's not bad at all. For the shaman it will be much more relaxing than babysitting an enc or necro. Slightly slower kills but steadier since no charm hassles.
Haven't done the hole much, so the people claiming it's much better might be right. Try both and let us know.
