Using Word of Recall was always a helpful weapon against people out of range from you. Was this also taken into consideration?

Well, it will never work if they aren't trusting you, so it's only really a helpful weapon against the careless or inexperienced.

If you mean recalling your allies to help them against people who are in their range (but not yours), I see that as an unrelated issue to this one. Nonetheless, neither shamans nor necromancers are supposed to be built around helping allies, as much as single-mindedly destroying enemies.
