I was watching a Shaman melee today while leveling. I never really considered a Shaman before because I thought they were like Druids, just with more buffs and mana regen. However, after seeing him kill Gnolls earlier, it got me wondering ...
How well does a Shaman melee level compared to others?
I know they get heals, buffs, debuffs, DoTs, nukes etc. ... but how realistic is it for a Shaman to level by buffing herself, then meleeing down the enemies, and healing after the fight?
Will that have pretty much the same downtime as Monk / SK, waiting for HP or Mana?

With chain armor, and access to some decent blunt and piercing weapons, a shield, the ability to haste themselves, and the ability to slow enemies, shammies are pretty decent at melee.
But root rot with pets is gonna be faster xp. When Green fully unlocks and you hit 60 and snag torpor, you can melee camp lots of places, but by then you're leveling is over! So it doesn't help your question.
Melee leveling is possible, but slower than other options, for a shaman.
