If one group of four can fight effectively, and another group of four can only be effective with a pocket character, the former group is better than the latter.

The group with the Shaman doesn't need the pocket cleric. Not sure where you saw me say that. But pocket clerics are easy to make, and plenty exist already. There's no reason to run a Cleric full time just for the occasional res, which is why people make pocket clerics.
If your group needs a lot of reses, you are playing poorly anyway, regardless of the team comp. You need to fix the skill issues, rather than rely on the Cleric to res you all the time.
The idea is that the pocket cleric is rarely used, because you shouldn't need a lot of reses to begin with. It's more of a convenience that a lot of people already take advantage of. With the Shaman tanking, the pets don't need lots of healing either.
A 60 Torpor Shaman isn't a pocket character. It's better to have 4 level 60 characters that aren't pocket characters, and then pocket the classes that are easy to do so.
This is because it takes less time and money to make a 49 cleric or a 55 mage. It's really that simple. You also don't want to share your account information for a main character that has a lot of time and money put into it.
