What should I level? 35 sham or 39 druid? (broke casual player)

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] !

I'm a slow grind kinda player...keep plugging away and I'll eventually get there. Did the raid scene too much on Live. Even group time is hard to find these days; mainly as I don't like flaking out on people and would rather throw in at least a few hours each session. Ideally I'll have:

1.) A class to solo when I don't have the time to group (prob a sham)

2.) And a class to group for the slow grind from 54+ (prob the Pally). Ideally one that can plunk on zone trash until a group needs me.

Since it's more of a time sink than a plan to ever be "P0wa", I'm thinking I'll solo the druid up to 49. Ports, regen, good thorns, skin like nature, etc. Mostly for helping PL and port people for fun. He's 41 now, if 45 is as annoying as I remember I'll probably get him ES arms and call it good enough.

Then I'll either bounce to the sham for the slow grind to 60 solo/duo. I know a Pally/Sham combo isn't the best but at least if my brothers ever want to play we have a combo that can kill spiders in velks or something. One brother has a bard so for grind groups and nostalgia that isn't bad.

Really Shaman plus any melee or hybrid works well. For instance, take a Shaman/Rogue duo, which is sort of the opposite end of the spectrum: since the Rogue can't tank or heal, the Shaman has to do both, but since the Rogue has plenty of DPS the Shaman will hardly be DoTing, if at all.

With Paladins it's just the reverse: the Shaman doesn't tank at all and heals a lot less often, but they need to cast more DoTs to make up for the Paladin's lower DPS. It's still a totally a viable duo though, unlike say Wizard and Shaman, and although I haven't tried it myself I'd bet the two could do really well in somewhere like Howling Stones.
