I duo'd with a cleric from 1-60. They have all the essential CC needed for splitting, dungeons, heals, etc. That was before Summon Companion too, so with that you should be primo. Now you are going to lose the amazin power of CoTHing your aggro off, so as a mage you are a bit in the negative. But your pet will be a great tank from 1-60.
One of the best pets you'll have is the DDD pet who has an aoe aggro spell and the largest DS (other than epic pet). He can't use weapons but is a great pet to use with a healer.
I don't know if you included Mark of Karn on your list of attributes to the cleric. DS+MoK is a great net shift on a fast attack pet and a fast attacking enemy.
Without slow there are mobs you will not be able to kill, however. PoM is a shaman's zone. You won't be able to duo puppets with a cleric, even with the epic pet. (not without a lot of clicky items and that's a waste on a puppet.)
