There are like 6 Enchanters in this game can keep a pet going, CC and pull. What the Cleric is going to pull? They can but its not really very effective. I am not saying they are a bad combo. Just that is sounds a lot better on paper than it does in reality.

There is a reason Monk Shaman is the king of the hill combo in this game. It just works if the Monk is worth a damn. FD is a God Send pure and simple.
ONE of the best combos in the game, absolutely. Best? Possibly, although it'd be a silly thing to argue about. I'm sure you'd agree the player behind the character has a big impact on whether or not that is true for any duo :P

Webrunner I honestly believe myself to be only an average enchanter as far as things go and I can tell you unequivocally that I can duo with a cleric, manage a pet, slow most mobs, do crowd control, AND pull effectively (for a duo) Most enchanters I've leveled with 50+ can likewise do the same. It's obviously a lot harder in bigger groups as things die a lot faster and you need to spend more time pulling, more time buffing, etc. But lull with high charisma is an extremely powerful pulling mechanic, and AE mesmerization is an extremely powerful ass saver for the very rare cases when lull crit resists. Enchanters die all the time, but I'll tell you its usually not when theyre grinding exp and duoing with their favorite healer. I honestly don't remember the last time I died grinding with my usual duo partner, and we level as a duo almost exclusively in HS wings at this point. I'm sure a monk/shaman could do the same, and probably for similar results.

Monk/Shaman is an awesome duo. I don't know if its a "better" duo than cleric/ench or shaman/ench they're all certainly overpowered beyond all reason. But to say that ench/(healer) is only an excellent duo on paper is absurd and that most of the server sucks too bad to pull it off is equally laughable. Ench/cleric or shaman is massively overpowered for the same reason monk/shaman is -- you have a full group's worth of functionality crammed down into two people.
