Sounds good on paper, and you could certainly make it work, but Monk is significantly better in every way that matters for duoing with a Shaman. Rangers may be able to wear chain, but they are significantly worse at taking damage than Monks due to their very very low defensive skill caps. The lowest in the game by far for a melee class, it's actually quite embarrassing. Additionally, their offensive skills are severely handicapped starting at 40 and don't catch back up until the late 50's meaning you will be much weaker during that timeframe. Ranger offensive spells do not even come close to making up the difference in dps in that time either. But most importantly, pulling indoors. You would be completely reliant on root for pulling and CC.
It sounds like you aren't even wanting to melee, why even use a Ranger at that point? Might as well grab a druid.
