Let me break it down in a bit more detail. A lot of people don't think about why CH is efficient, so they just assume it is always better.

A Cleric gets CH at 39, so from 1-38 you don't have it. Therefore, when you talk about clerics being efficient for leveling, you are really talking about leveling from 39-60.

Clerics get all healing spells earlier and some the shaman does not making the cleric more efficient at leveling at all levels.

At 39 a Shaman can slow for 40% at 125 mana, and heal for 540 with 300 mana. 40% of 1200HP = 480 HP, so for 425 mana a Shaman is mitigating 1020 damage. With the 10 HP/Tick regen the Shaman is providing, that is another 100 damage mitigated per minute. That is very comparable to a cleric in terms of mana to hp from levels 39-52 or so.

We are talking about a trio. The slow is already happening without the shaman. You can have slows and complete heal at the same time in a trio. Back to matching shapes and colors for you pal!

The nice thing about having the Shaman slowing instead of the Enchanter is it saves the Enchanter more mana for CC and pet management. A Shaman being able to cannibalize means they have more mana to play around with than the Enchanter, so you can manage mana usage a bit better for more balanced meditate sessions. You aren't being very efficient if your cleric is always sitting at full mana and your enchanter is running low.

The clerics mana is the bottle neck in this trio, not the enchanters. You have no clue what you are talking about.
