It's an interesting thought exercise; I've thought about it a fair amount. The rare occasions I've been duo with an enchanter on my shadow knight were mostly in velketor/broodmaster area so needless to say we didn't fear stuff. That being said if fear-kiting is the primary goal I don't see why the enchanter wouldn't prefer a necromancer instead. For my own part I regard the shaman as a much preferable partner. Anything can be made to work to some extent but some classes go together about as well as the proverbial square peg and round hole.

Speaking of velketor's: a couple buddies I knew, one had an enchanter and another had both a cleric and a paladin. They preferred the pal/ench pair for doing velk's over the cler/ench pair. The Paladin made charm breaks less dangerous and between slow and clarity could self-heal while tanking and hence losing complete heal on pets didn't matter overmuch. Though insofar as I recall that specific zone was the only place they liked using the paladin more than the cleric in their duo.

Make a Druid (if you don't already have one) if you think your buddy is likely to quit before reaching the highest levels.

It sounds like your friend will never make it there, so I'd pick a class that is strong 1-20 without a lot of gear, and that set includes neither Shaman nor Enchanter. I think in your situation I'd go Druid.
Great minds think alike, eh?
