With hardcore players, maybe. However, since you're appealing to a broader player base, I think you need to include a couple of other flavors, especially an evasion tank "done right". Revised monks are a fun class in EQ2, it's a shame they can't tank as effectively as other fighters.
Then again, for casuals they could probably serve as single-group tanks or off-tanks just fine.
Yes, balance is a huge issue, but I'd argue that for interest's sake, so is flavor. I'd personally rather have an evasion class that's harder to play, but when handled well, is easily on par with the typical meat shield archetype, if not superior in certain ways.
Also, putting in votes for bloodmage and necromancer classes for Copernicus.
