I was leaning towards druid the only reason I haven't rolled it is that I already have a priest class (shaman) and I know other than cleric its hard to heal higher level stuff. That and if I remember right there is like a billion druids on this server.

You can work around the healing deficit of the druid by charm-killing (and breaking charm, then killing the pet, when he gets low on health) or just root-dotting. Also, the druid and necro dots stack, which is nice and something you don't get with the shaman.
Aside from charm-killing, you will also be able to fear-kite for nearly no mana. Your snare spells are very cheap and last forever compared to the necro's darkness line. If you're killing undead, all the better as the undead fear is a lot cheaper to cast than the normal fear. Charm an animal if one is nearby for great DPS on top of that of the necro's pet, and you won't even need dots.
The biggest thing you will lack is slow, which makes it difficult to take down certain high-level targets (mostly summoning mobs).
On the other hand, though, you guys will have track and the ability to break most any dungeon camp you want to, indoors or out. That's pretty nice for getting gear while leveling, and you'll be a lot more versatile in the strategies that are open to you compared to some other duos.
