Assassin/Defiler works. And all you need to be overleveled is to know exactly how high you can be before a mob grays out. 90% of boss mobs are 1-2 levels higher then the trash around them. Make sure you're close to graying out the dungeon, and roll in. Invis is NOT a prerequisite, and certainly for a trio its generally not an option (besides buying copious amounts of Totem of the Chameleon which is quite expensive). I do the dungeons when everything is green, I don't mind blowing through trash in a duo. If you're in a good duo, the XP is amazing and the times are good.
Assassin/Defiler is a good combo, but the Assassin REALLY has to be on his A game. And 5 points in Improved Cheap Shot. The Deaggros won't work to your favor (or at all), but for pulling nothing beats this combo. Out of combat: Group Ward. Defiler body pulls, taking no damage and staying at full mana. Assassin either Surprises (AE Melee attack) or Cut Throat/Ebon Blade/Assassin's Blade a single target for big damage. The ward is also on the Assassin; no damage there for about 15 seconds. Defiler recasts single target ward on Assassin when group ward breaks or expires, leaving autoattack on, pet on, and the occasional DoT or two. An easier (but I've found, slower in some situations) combo is Assassin/Bruiser or Assassin/Monk. You won't have as many options for damage or AE stealth moves but it is a bit easier.
Necro/Fury is my personal favorite. Its the one I started with and I don't think there is a better combo in the game. The necro gets tainted heals (obviously) and the Fury goes Int line, Energy Vortex, then Wis Line, then Animalism (really late game). DPS is great, the emergency heals that the Fury brings to the party have saved the day countless times. They both have invis later, too, so that's a plus.
Anyway shoot me a PM if you need any more info or advice.
