Their pet, while weak, is mana-free sustained DPS, and their nukes aren't terrible if there's already plenty of healing. They're also more effective than Druids at main or off healing because of Cannibalize and (eventually) Torpor.
Basically, a good Shaman is rarely considered a waste of a slot. They're similar to Bard in that they can be slotted into almost any group and figure out something useful to do.

Rather have a druid if necro or enchanter can charm. Then you can have a max hasted dual wielding machine of devastation permanently ensnared. Kill things fast is the most efficient healing.
