They can spot heal. They can snare. They can pull. They can mez on charm breaks. They can twitch. They can charm undead. They can rez. They have a much better pet. Hell, they can even root rot adds off the side the way you claim is effective!

And they are providing most of this value for the entire leveling process, not just at level 60 after acquiring the most expensive spell in the game.

It's time to face facts, DSM: your fat Ogre Shaman has no place in this group, and should be relegated to the tunnel SoWing newbs and selling potions.
Necro is a great choice too. But Necros can't Malo -> Malosoni -> Slow hard mobs like Ixiblat Fer, for example.

As I said before, my choice would be Shaman/Enchanter/Necro/Cleric. You get all the utility you need for basically any fight a four man group could do, and you will still DPS fine.
