I'd argue that in general xp will flow in faster/easier with a shaman partner.
Keep in mind that NPCs (pets included) benefit a lot more from agility and armor class buffs than players do (they are not subject to softcaps). When I duo with mages, once you buff the pet up and keep regen on the pet, they never really need heals if you slow early. Even a max summon shaman pet which sucks by comparison will tank slowed mobs like a champion once properly buffed. Higher level pets regen 30/tick. Add +15 from regrowth and you're looking at a pet that takes comparable damage (or less) than a monk and regenerates more than a level 60 fungi iksar monk. With the slows, it becomes more ideal to keep a single max summon and properly buffed pet up which frees the mage to use all mana towards nuking targets down. It's a frighteningly powerful duo. Shaman slow really negates the need for any substantial healing and shamans have mana regen capabilities that the other priests can't even begin to approach. Properly buffed, a max summon shaman pet will consistently put out 17-20dps. The only thing you're really lacking compared to a cleric is pacify and the un-necessary complete heal. Quote:
-Meh, I got by very effectively with just an iksar regen bp all the way to level 57, so not that expensive. If you insist on BIS and the high dollar spells, then yes they are very expensive ... but very worth it -not having to haste the mage pet isn't a liability, it gives YOU extra mana to work with (dots/nukes/CC) and less time spent doing the cannidance -Cannidancing gets tedious, I'll grant you that -I'd look at it a different way. Slow negates the need for direct healing and saves the mage the bother of casting the DS to begin with. As far as kill speed goes, the shaman's pet and dot capabilities alone will help this pair slaughter faster than either of the other priests. AFK med time won't be necessary. If mana is a bother, let the pets do the work while the regens do the healing, and med through a few kills while the shaman just slows.

If you ever want to raid the cleric will be more sought after, especially paired with a mod rodding mage.
