Only CH has a significant gap, and you can look at the wiki to confirm this.
Torpor is more efficient than Celestial Elixir. The only downside to it is the snare obviously, but in a Shaman/Enchanter/Monk trio the Shaman will be tanking with Torpor. It isn't like you are letting the monk or the Enchanter pet tank. It is better to have them DPSing behind the mob to maximize damage.
Chloroblast is only 50 HP lower than Remedy for the same mana cost. Divine Light is niche because it basically costs the same amount as a CH. Most of the time you would want to cast a CH over Divine Light, because it is more mana efficient.
Most trio encounters are slowable, which means the Shaman is very efficient at mitigating damage. There is a reason why Shamans are the second best solo class in the game. They can out-mitigate a large chunk of content solo with Torpor/Slow.
Once content starts needing CH and Warrior discs, it is a bit risky to do it with a trio, especially the epic stuff. Better to ask for help than lose progress.
