Nothing makes a shadow priest happier than Curse of Shadows, but you have to wait until L44 to get it. If you wanted to focus on shadow damage I hate to say it but MD/Ruin is an attractive match for a priest duo. There are reasons it's a cookie cutter. Octord (he's MD/Ruin) and I before I lost my shadow ways had fun together. It was entertaining for me to spam rank 1 Pain 5 times (for shadow vulnerability), add curse of shadows, and then have both of us go for big crits.
SM/Ruin would also give you good damage synergy, but you might miss the improved pet for this duo. It seems that the improved drain talents and life tap would help a lot with downtime though -- if you play like the nuke happy casters you want to be, you'll be needing mana.
As far as seeming like a hunter duo it does seem like that would be an effective way to play it. Nuke with impunity when things aren't dangerous, voidwalker tank for when they are.
Just my two cents. I always thought a fire warlock and an ice mage (assuming they've fixed Curse of Elements) would be a fun duo. No tank, use the imp, and kite.
