it is a burden not being able to bind affinity or gate, especially considering they have no running speed spells?
I would consider ranger but again I hear they are kind of unwanted in raids.
I am not necessarily looking for a solo class, but want something that can hold its own to solo small groups of blues when I cannot find a group. I know PAladins can heal themselves, Shadowknights can in a fight (though the lifetaps though both are extremly weak.)

SK's and Pal's are pretty unwanted in raids too. You want a token Paladin around for buffs but that's about it sadly. They're good classes on red, but most people who main one play a different class at raids. A good paladin can actually do a pretty solid amount of clutch patch healing in raids but they're under rated and inferior to just playing a priest. SK's don't really have much of a raid niche, they're best for pvp and group content.
No bind affinity kind of sucks while leveling, but it's not the end of the world later on. Don't mess up your OT outpost faction and get a worker's sledgemallet. Get pottery up for thurgadin gate potions. Vendor gate pots. Then there's even more teleportation potions/items you can farm if you're really serious about mobility. Pick a good bind and at 60 you'll have wizard friends who can TL you. It can be a little limiting because zones like Plane of Mischief suck to farm without being able to bind, but it's never a bad idea to roll a farming alt if you main a melee.
Both classes are annoying to level if you don't have jboots early on. You'll feel the mobility restrictions before higher levels when you have more options, unless you have a friend to babysit you with ports.
