I've raided in WoW as Priest and also as a main tank warrior. In EQ2 I've played Bruiser to about 30 which I loved, but I felt like crap in groups and felt unneeded. I also played Brigand which was really fun, but I felt like I could do a little more DPS. I've been interested in Berserker, but what I want to know is will I feel like a second-rate tank if a Guardian is around? Can my DPS hold up? What about SK's, is the class overflowing with people? SK seems like a cool idea on paper, but I've heard in raids they aren't really that useful.

Brigands as I recall are just straight up awesome at high levels. When I had played before they were really sought after because few people played them, but their debuffs are pretty strong which is the main benefit, and their personal DPS isn't exactly crap either. I think its definately really strong out of the scouts at the moment. Berserkers as I recall are basically Guardians with more dps, and since fighters tend to occupy few raid slots, typically they make decent OTs. Basically the difference as I recall is the Guardian gets a lot more "oh shit" mitigation buffs/damage mitigators, Berserkers have solid AE dps for tanks and in the fighter archetype will do better damage than Guardians or either Knight. The Knights are common, and both have great agro generation, less (read: next to none) oh shit buttons, poorer dps (SK dps is better than Paladins though), and moderate utility. If all you intend to do is group and solo a Knight is fine, I just couldn't really justify my place in a raid over a dedicated healer, dps, or one of the warrior types.
Stuff that generally seems uncommon and doesn't suck : either Shaman, either bard, and either Cleric is probably not going to have a hard time finding groups/raid slots.
