As everyone else seems to be saying, I vote dirge. I'm biased though. My main is a dirge and since I don't really have any alts (OMGWHA?!) she's all I've ever played.
I soloed her a lot. It's not too hard to find a group since people want your buffs. DPS isn't too bad. You can invis and sneak around a lot of places without help. And by the time you reach the higher levels, you can heal and resurrect. The only thing I can't do as a dirge is bring people to me (COH) but otherwise I don't have a single complaint.
