Well, this thread was de-railed pretty quickly. I think this might have been more useful, OP, if you'd just called people out to update the Wiki, rather than trying to gather it here. Just copy and past whatever's there, and (as with any opinion expressed on internet forums), people will be falling all over themselves to expand/edit it.
Also, this is going to be at least partially wrong (especially Velious stuff), but here's my basic recollection of roughly how relative power of the classes changed with the first 2 expansions:
Warrior
Classic: Low (aggro problems)
Kunark: Better (disciplines)
Velious: Better
Rogue
Classic: High (Low without a group)
Kunark: Better (new weapons)
Velious: Same
Bard
Classic: High (Lower in raids)
Kunark: Better (overhaste)
Velious: Same
Ranger:
Classic: Low (except Tracking raids)
Kunark: Better (itemization)
Velious: Better (itemization)
Shadowknight
Classic: High (Lower in raids)
Kunark: Worse (though not much)
Velious: Same
Paladin
Classic: High
Kunark: Worse (by attrition)
Velious: Same
Cleric
Classic: High (Low without a group)
Kunark: Same
Velious: Same
Shaman

Velious: Better
Druid

Magician

If you have some corrections to make (and I'm sure you do), please, just be specific about the what/how/when.
