So then why would we want a Shaman when we could have a Druid? We don't need extremely efficient heals? I'll get the priest that can still heal small amounts of damage whilst having utility that isn't redundant, possibly another charm, snare for the Enchanter charms, POTG and some nice mobility to move this group around.

You've lost the argument.

Shamans provide more utility than a Druid in combat, and can solo mobs that Enchanters cannot due to restrictions on Charmable mobs in a zone. Shamans can save your party more mana than PoTG by taking on some of the duties an Enchanter would, while also being able to cannibalize. This means they don't need a med break.

If this hypothetical group were indeed going to places where there are restrictions, then they'd go for a Mage and its pet instead. Slow, Mage Malo and Cleric heals? Yes please!

Why the hell would I want a Shaman?

A Shaman is much tankier than a Mage pet. There is no reason to prefer a Mage in your scenario. That is why Shamans can solo much harder mobs than a Mage.
