But more importantly, though I was confused, then frustrated at first - the new "normal-then divine - then empowered" encounter mechanics are awesome.
I'm just saying it's something FRESH.

I agree with angrysprite. I have two to three (some even four) of every class so I can have multiple builds of each paragon. The character I am having the most fun on right now is once again the character I used to have the most fun on back in Alpha: My main cleric. She's a fully virtuous divine oracle now, specced to be a minimally damaging tank that cannot be broken. She can handle any non-dragon encounters solo and has no issues with any lairs. Sure fights take a while but I'm always doing something with her and it keeps me feeling like I am actually playing a cleric in D&D and not just some divine mage. Best of all, I do not need to change any powers around for her to be a supreme group healer either.
I'd link my build but by doing so, I'd fear players who cannot handle my playstyle with her would be frustrated by just blindly trying it out. I did post her in The Temple though. If one really wants to see her, just look at my latest created threads and scroll down to my latest post there-in with pics of her current build. She's gotten a few more boons since I posted it though, but nothing major.

I do enjoy running a GF (have been running since mod2), but my GWF/HR/SW/TR are a lot of fun. Diversify, maybe play through the intro on each & then decide. It really comes down to which class you enjoy. I'd play one of each if I could get the char slots to do it (I'm kinda cheap that way). But CW's are easy to find, & I personally don't like the DC's "slide" style dodge.
In the end, GF & DC has the most potential for high end survivability with some dps.
Look through the forums for some of the older discussions on this topic. Might find the vindication of a certain class that really speaks to you.
If I'm in a "hulk smash" kind of mood, then I'll go for one of my GWFs or my offensively-specced GF.
If I'm more in the mood for strategic play, then I'll go for my SW or HR.
I have at least one of every class at 60, and they all have their strong points - I dislike soloing on my DC, but love teaming.

Strongest class would be TR and DC

I've played each class, and I can tell you that all classes are fun. I've found every class enjoyable in their own way. All you can get out of a thread like this is personal opinions.
CW can be shaped to your liking, to either be offensive, defensive, a bit of both, or even support. You can spec your CW to be anything, you like to keep mobs stunned and control the battlefield? Follow the oppressor tree, and use [orb of imposition] class feat. You like to burn crowds or deal heavy damage? Thaumaturge tree offers that. You like to play support and buff your party? Follow the Renegade Tree for heavy buffing and even healing effects, that should not be taken lightly (The heal effect is awesome, I suggest using High Vizier set for even more team benefits).
There are defensive sets available for the CWs if you like tanking AND burning / controlling, such as the Purified black ice set.
My vote? Go CW (Control Wizard), it's my personal favorite, as it has a lot of flexibility to suit your play style.
My 2nd favorite is GWF, I simply like brute force.
TR for PVP
An update to that build, I chose the first top boon in the IWD campaign, Weathering the Storm, just the other day to give her even more survivability when she's not able to get out of AOEs (which is rare). That's the only difference to how she is now and that posted build, that I can recall off hand. I'm still working on getting her ToD and IWD missing boons and not sure what I will take at this time, as I had always made decisions on her boons based on what she needed to improve upon on the time of it unlocking and to decide then if that choice fit her background history/lore.

Frustration, imbalance, long standing bugs and elitism induced reply - the class which is the most broken OP at the moment
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.
GWF is just brainless smashing and GF bores me to death.

If you're here for a challenge, gwf is a guaranteed not-OP-at-all class. But on the other hand it's not fun to play because the class has no mechanisms. DC on the other hand will be tanky and will deliver damage, problem is it's hard to have the right power at the right status at the right moment of a fight.
