Is Shaman the BEST all-around class in the game?

I personally don't like playing enchanters, but I'll log them to beat up a really tough spawn or something like that. I think it's difficult to characterize a class without aggro manipulation tools as 'best all around'.

Imo enchanters are best, but not best all round.

Shaman can heal, can take hits, they have a bit more interesting gear pathways.
