Figured clr/enc would have been used as the first example, but now that's not 100% correct either since the SoulFire change. Again, Deepwater Breastplate is underrated.

Shd can split multiple casters in dungeons better, casting fear out of aggro range, then snaring one of the adds and feigning, plus runes and lifetaps to counter damage spikes. Shd can stack dots along with shm if the target is particularly hard, and snare if root resists/target flees. Shm/shd both have decent pets at 60. Shd can pull a named through the zone aggro-free if all mobs in between are green. Shd can shadow step through locked entrances. Shd can pull with dispels, stripping mob buffs. Mnk needs heals against dmg shields, shd doesn't since already slow swings and has lifetap procs. With epic, heals are needed less especially once slow lands, freeing up the shm to load on more dots. Lvl 9 shd pet eats harm touches, shm could do the same with monk but then shm is pulling instead of canni dancing. Shd has IVU which eases movements in zones like the Hole and Lower Guk, etc.
