Things I want to be able to do:
1. Solo at times. (and be able to go afk between fights) -- pretty much all classes can do this, depending on where/what you hunt: but some are better than others.
2. Be wanted in a group.
3. Be useful on a raid.
4. Farm either tradeskill materials or $$ to buy them. (I like to do tradeskills when folks I know arent online or I need to go afk alot and cant hunt)

I'd suggest that you consider making a Necromancer. I think he would fit in with all of the above and is an excellent Soloer in my opinion. In fact, I feel that a necro is better in many respects to a mage for soloing. You can heal yourself and regen mana plus feign death for when you need to go AFK and are in an area which could go poorly for you if a wandering mob finds you..
I've always been happy to have a necro in my groups. Their pets are great and they can spot heal or give some mana to those who need it in a pinch.
I haven't raided much so I can't comment on their raid viability but from what I understand, they have their place. Necros can certainly farm with the best of them. I like necros also in that you are much more justified in killing anything you want since everyone hates you as it is :-)
