Think the first 3 floors are the worst because of the dots, and then the following ones (except the newest, havent tried it yet) are all pushovers. I shaman buff my main mage and his pet, and run the second mage in there without buffs. The Dots tear up the pets, unfortunately - but if you play the instances "correctly" and line of sight the dot casts by dipping down in the holes, (There is strategy in this game? tf?) ... then you can do them pretty easily without ever getting hit. Usually the nukes take out the boss before he gets to the end of your buffed pet. But if he does chew your pets up, run out of the instance, rebuff, and try again. For some reason, its like his difficulty is lowered if you try it again. Or his mana doesnt regen or something, idk.
As for as duo boxing - I dont think I really got the hang of duo boxing an enchanter and a shaman together until the mid to late 30's. By that point, I had figured out I needed macro's for just about everything to be proficient with the shaman box. Even something as simple as healing needs to be macro'd. So instead of selecting the party members and then selecting the heal, you can just hit one macro and it does it automatically. Same for malo'ing the enchanter's pet, or slowing the Mob etc. I think Shaman is easier to box because all of their spells are just so god damn mana intensive that you spend more time cannibalizing yourself than actually doing something useful. But I would never do something so dumb as duoing an enchanter and a warrior. Thats two classes that you need to analyze the field with and simple macro's are only going to help but so much in that situation. Feel like thats more of a poor choice based on greed than it is helpful to the group.
