Why shaman over a druid or cleric out of curiosity? I guess I could buy the SoW argument, but a druid can provide that, plus ports and better nuking.
Shaman might be more efficient DPS but it's also DoT based which prevents you from any mez/nuke type strats. Not to say druids don't use a lot of DoTs as well, but they are definitely more nuke friendly.
I went ench/cleric with my brother mostly because of being 2/3 of the holy trinity should we want to do some dungeons with a group. I'm low level now, but I think fighting undead will provide opportunity for me to contribute decent DPS if the situation calls for it.
Don't underestimate having rezzes either as a utility. I find it not all that difficult to find a friendly druid, shaman or ranger to toss me a SoW but good luck getting a cleric to come rez you.
