By high-end play, Shamans are the kings of debuffing (specifically mob slowing). No other class can match Shaman's level of mob debilitation, and on top of that they have some of the largest range of stat buffs to bolster the group. And finally yes they often tackle off-healing (and occasionally main healing depending on the situation, i.e. monk-shammy duo).
Unless things are drastically different in P99, that is how I remember shamans from live, and playing a monk main, shamans were by far one of my favorite classes to have in a group.
