Swish, it's pretty simple. Cleric undead nukes are far less mana-efficient than shaman DoTs; on top of that they have free pet DPS and extra mana regen from cannibalize. The result is that shamans can put out far more damage per hour than clerics can. It doesn't matter if that damage comes in the form of a single nuke or in the form of DoTs. You can claim that clerics require less work to solo because you nuke and then you med, but you can't claim that they down more monsters per hour because it's simply impossible; they can't do as much damage per point of mana, and they can't get back as much mana per hour.
