As a high level enchanter, my 2cp is that I'd prefer to duo with the following classes in order:
- Druid
- Necro
- Wizard
- Mage
- Shaman

Reason why is that Ench/Druid can crush damn near anything, and druid Snare/Regen/Thorns makes charming mind-numbingly easy. I'd take a Druid down and do Skyfire mobs all day long for silly exp and chance at CotH dropping. Mages/Shaman's don't bring a lot to the party, and Mages break root like nothing. I'd still group with either any day, but would prefer classes higher on that list.

As for Wiz/Mage it all comes down to what you want to do. It's certainly possible to go a little less mana efficient but drop rank to a lower level nuke that you can use more often in groups, or focus on chainstuns and whatnot as a Wiz. It's absolutely possible to quickly and easily solo with either class. I've seen Mages make or break high level groups with great plays too. It all depends on your playstyle.

Strictly for duoing purposes, I'd go with Wiz over a Mage for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is on-demand Teleport. Kit synergy is higher with a Wiz unless you're doing something insane like 2-manning deep Seb or HS (which, if you're doing that, bring a Necro instead)
