Any solo class + any solo class is an awesome duo for obvious reasons.
Pairing a tank class with a healer class (especially shaman due to how efficient slowing makes healing) is always a good pair, plus it allows you to start your own groups whenever you want merely by inviting utility/DPS when duoing gets boring.
There are some unexpected good combos too. Druid/Rogue and Ranger/Rogue works very well if the rogue doesn't mind chasing things, and the rogue's experience bonus helps balance out xp gains, effectively boosting the ranger's leveling speed.
Necro/Mage or Necro/Wizard....or hell, Necro + any DPS.
Monk/Shaman is a classic, but the monk can be replaced with any melee and still do well. I even did a shaman/ranger duo for a while. Rangers can easily tank slowed mobs and hold enough agro that the shaman doesn't get hit. I've even seen shaman/rogue work pretty well. You'd be surprised how many classes can tank slowed mobs effectively.
