If I was going to duo a sham and SK I would probably roll Cazic for diety. The symbol quests would make fear kiting in those early levels far better until slow/heal is more efficient. Could even go Iksar with some faction work.
I like my Inny troll for the clinging darkness neck and halfling mask but more in theory. I seldom use those.

A warrior or rogue with a snare proc weapon would work nice too. This ratio is hot garbage but level 15 proc is quite nice.
