And WP 2h/IB or IB/Slayer, it's good?

WP 2h/ IB is good because the duo can sustain themselves with WPs life tap and IBs regen. However, they will be vulnerable against kiters and WP needs high end gear to perform well.

IB/Slayer is not as good because they lack sustain and are also vulnerable to kiting. They might be able to take out an opponent or two but if IB gets punted out of guard range, Slayer survivability becomes very low.

Duo comps work best with DPS/Healer. Offensive Tank/ Offensive Healer also works but requires good gear. Double Offensive regen tank duos can be very hard to kill and can do decent damage but they lack kill potential if against competent healers. DPS/Tank is suboptimal and will result in eventual death if their damage can be outhealed

Bottom line, you have to consider two main factors of your duo composition:

1. Survivability
2. Kill potential

For individual classes, as a general rule of thumb, both these factors are inversely proportionate to maintain balance. Meaning, you can't be perfect in both, but classes which do have the luxury in both factors, do well solo.

So together with your partner, you will be an effective duo if you can excel in both these factors by complementing each other.

According to your questions, you both want to play midgets?
When you are only 2 players, you can be forced to run. If that happens, you will have to heal on the move.
Engi healing is pretty static and IB has some regen but overall it is too little.

Engi plus rune priest gives you mobile healing, useful grp buffs and engi can aoe stagger chasing opponents.

Joining warbands for later content, will be more difficult on engi, because there are so many.

Another option would be playing RP and IB, which gives you better chances to get into groups for whatever content, especially as new players and for rvr roaming you can always invite one of the over 9000 dps classes looking for a group.
Dying is no option.

Few will agree with me, but IB/Slayer can work, but you gotta go 2h Slayer and play with Holding Grudges to not go Beserk...
This way you will be pretty hard, this allows the IB to go 2H as well.

Can have incoming outgoining healdebuff, selfheal on both chars, a strong Woundsdebuff...

THe only thing against this playstyle is, that DW Slayer is so viable it is kind of a loss of potentail, but respec is for free :P

Shamans, and more shamans.Shaman groups for ganking/duo/roam have the highest of the above-mentioned kill rate/survival tools. You can also throw SH into the mix but it is easier to burst if caught.
Brynnoth Goldenbeard (40/80) (IB) -- Rundin Fireheart (40/50) (RP) -- Ungrinn (40/40) (Engi)-- Bramm Bloodaxe (40/83) (Slayer) and a few Empire characters here or there, maybe even an elf.
