Anyways its been a fun pass time going back and forth. I am burning time today so thank you DSM.
Would love to see a race to 60 between untwinked war/clr/ench and monk/sham/ench or w/e it is your advocating is the best xp trio. Anything with a shaman in the trio would get smoked if all other things were equal. Splitting mobs and slowing them would destroy your xp. Don't forget to put that in your phone calculator model.

Yeah thanks for the time!
You are incorrect about the Shaman trio getting smoked, and it's easy enough to prove with some basic math.
I think the issue here is you are assuming having a monk in the group means you are always splitting. If an encounter is easy enough to face pull multiple mobs with a Warrior, you can simply do the exact same thing with a Monk. The Shaman/Enchanter can just root the adds, and slowing the monster is simply doing what the Cleric is doing: spending mana to mitigate damage.
I am not sure why you think a Cleric/Warrior is going to be considerably faster at this, especially in the lower levels. Any encounter that can be pulled into camp and easily CC'ed is a trivial encounter. With the Monk you have the option to split a harder encounter that you wouldn't be face pulling.
Finally, I never said Cleric/Warrior/Enchanter is a bad trio. It's a great trio. You are the only person here trying to claim that your trio is the only good one for leveling. Shaman/Enchanter/Monk is a very powerful trio at 60 with Torpor and a full Enchanter spellbook. It is still a strong trio while leveling, because most content you would level on from 1-60 is on the easy side anyway.
I wouldn't advise trying to min/max the leveling process, because the point is to get to 60 and farm the good stuff. It mostly comes down to what you want to farm in terms of what classes you want to play. Remember, if you need a Cleric or Warrior for a random fight, you can always just ask your guildies/friends. The trio you play should reflect the content your group wants to do while trioing.
