Yeah, I'd go shaman. Shaman/necro is a very strong duo at all levels in case the enchanter can't log on for whatever reason.

This is a really important point that shouldn't be overlooked, and while there are strong arguments for Cleric, Shaman and Druid to round out the trio, for this reason I think Shaman takes it.

Shaman can duo very well with both the Necro and the Enchanter if one of them isn't around.

The virtues of Shaman/Enchanter have already been elaborated on, but Shaman/Necro is an underappreciated duo, and as far as non-Ench power duos go I'd rank it right up there with Monk/Shaman and Epic Mage/Cleric, depending on the situation. You can root rot a ridiculous amount of mobs at once (one of the most impressive and annoying things I've seen was a Shm/Nec duo at seafuries pretty much killing the entire island by themselves, non-stop) and never run of out mana due to Shm epic + canni + necro heals, and the Necro overflowing with mana from the Shaman's regen. And tougher single target mobs can be tanked by the Shaman with slow while the Necro sends in the Rogue pet, stacks DoTs and feigns agro as needed. The classes synergize very well together and it's a very fun, active combo to play for both the Shaman and the Necro (i.e. compare to Mage/Cleric which is pretty monotonous for each, or Ench/Cleric where the Chanter does 90% of the work).
