I'd say strictly for "amount of mobs killed as a group of 2" SHD/SHM is probably better than WAR/SHM for the reasons you listed.
However, WAR/SHM has a couple of major advantages:
- Only takes 79% as much exp to level compared to SHD/SHM
- If you are joining a group of 6, WAR/SHM is more desirable than SHD/SHM
And a few minor ones:
- Higher AC and defensive skills
- Berserker fury and crits
- At high levels, WAR/SHM will have an easier time killing very hard mobs because of disciplines
