More to the point, a solo Shaman is more of a melee than a solo Shadow Knight in that the Shaman *can* reliably go toe-to-toe with stuff if he wants to. Solo Shadow Knights mostly fear-kite.
Shamans and Shadow Knights both find groups well enough. On my SK I receive random group invites from folks I don't even know with some regularity. Do not under-estimate the hybrid experience penalty, especially as a large race. The majority of hybrids peter out by the early/mid 50's and don't make 60.
