You're the only person I've ever seen praise this trio so much. It's not one that is particularly popular in my experience. People either run Monk/Shaman which is a great duo or Enchanter/Cleric which is probably the strongest overall duo in the game. Monk/Shaman is better in certain situations though for sure. Have no problem admitting this. Seems kinda weird to shoehorn an enchanter into a monk/shaman duo. I'm sure it works fine. Not sure I'd call it the best trio though. Charm pets at endgame have like 8k hp. It's a lot to heal with torpor and it directly nerfs your groups damage by a pretty significant amount. A cleric would easily be a better choice here since the enchanter can slow and has all the CC you'd ever need.

The Enchanter offers the amazing CC to get into camps that require things like lull. Obviously they have their great charmed pet for DPS too. This covers for the weakness of the Shaman, which is no lulls and no mez. Not every camp is simply rootable for splitting purposes.
The Shaman offers a wide range of spells, and the ability to Torpor/slow tank mobs. This covers the weakness of the Enchanter, which is they cannot always charm well due to mob levels in the zone. Torpor and slow is more than sufficient for any content a trio would be doing mitigation-wise.
The Monk offers the ability to FD, offers good white damage DPS, and ability to tank. This covers the weakness of both the Enchanter and Shaman of not being able to single pull certain camps due to not having FD.
Put them together and you have a group that does high DPS, while being able to do basically any camp a trio could do. The only thing you are missing here is res and teleport. But if the players are experienced, as we keep claiming, then you can easily cover these by buying reses, buying ports, or making pocket characters to cover these deficiencies.
