If you're a twink, worn haste is insanely useful well up into your 30s to 40s. Haste item and a PWC will have you leveling a lot faster than trying to play the pure caster role. If you're not a twink, by the time you've saved up enough for a haste item you're probably past the point in your shaman's life that it's useful.
Shaman pets do benefit from worn item haste but I'd never give a shaman pet any haste item other than a mage summon mask. In seb fully buffed (str + focus stack and haste) with haste mask the pet puts out a solid 25 sustained dps. It's not huge, but it works out to about 1/3 of a single moderately geared monk and is minimal upkeep.
