Warrior will do substantially more DPS then a SK, buuut we’re comparing against one of the lowest DPS classes. If an SK only does 15dps (let’s say in the 30s) and a warrior does 40% more that’s only 21dps. I mean 6dps is not game breaking.
The fact that your shaman could slow as soon as the mob’s in camp, he can save mana otherwise spent healing and rooting the mob off of himself once he steals aggro from the warrior. This can be put towards more dots/buffs/etc. to make up the damage. With his pet and other tools the shaman will be more than making up for losses from the warrior. Plus with single pulls and escaping deadly situations (feign death + gate) your total time saved will put you over the edge.
Shadow knight is fun in other ways besides big DPS. Warrior is out of control most of the time and has to rely on his group (trust me I know). Warrior will need lower DPS/high aggro proccing weapons to seriously build aggro. Sure if the warrior can keep aggro they’ll do great and you’ll have tons of fun but not having aggro on a warrior is miserable. Yes the shammy can root every mob to help you out but again totally reliant on your group as a warrior. You’lll be able to contribute more with the knight even if it’s not in the form of DPS.
