There really isn't anything that can compete with a hammerdin in terms of rushing. They do tons of damage and you face nothing immue. I guess a dual element sorc could work, but you would need a great build. A boner will work, but is not as fast as a hammerdin, the same for a summoner. Both of those work, I think but the hammerdin is much faster.
The absolute best is a ub4r hammerdin. If you don't have enigma, however, and assuming you don't have naj's staff on switch or an item with teleport charges, I'd have to say sorc.

The best rushing characters are bowazons, PnB necros and, hammerdins. They all have no immunities and should all be able to tele except a zon which a PVP zon should have faster run/walk charms so they should be able to run to their destination pretty quickly. Necros and Zons have a wide spread attack (teeth and multi) and hammerdins can deliver vast amounts of damage in a short time. The only problem I've encountered using a hammerdin for rushing is the fact that when your doing certin quests, the monsters will literally gang bang you and get so close that your locked into a crowd and the hammers have a bit of space between from where you cast them and where your standing so 1/10 times you'll get stuck for maybe a minute or two.
Bowazon? You're bowa uses enigma or something? Mine sure as hell didnt... And she had a hard time killing shit in hell (7k GA btw). If you make a PvM zon thought, then it might be easier.. but eww. A zon solely for mf? Make hammerdin instead.
i use one char to rush.....95 blizz sorc with a 95 A2 merc. The main reason i use a sorc is because of the MF and the first time killing a boss bonus drops (found 2-3 maras off andy doing this). Plus, whenever there is a cold immune crowd... i just static and let my merc with Reapers (decrepify) kick their asses. But my sorc cant take Hell Ancients, so i own them with my hammerdin.
Pure rushes? Does it really matter? Whats the difference if it takes 2-3 minutes longer? Teleport, damage and versitility. Hammerdin or pnb necro probably as nothing you'd see in a rush is immune to that stuff. I can see where a pvm multishot bowazon could work well though from my own experience....Im not sure its the best though.
For people who are having others tag along though for xp and running a little more I've found the pnb necro is a little better at keeping enemies in front of you, thus protecting your much weaker and easilly killable charge tagging along.
