So, Regardless of how you feel they are best classified ... of the classes listed within this subsection, bards make the best solo class by a fair margin even if you intentionally ignore the aoe dot kiting bit.

If you take bards out of the equation, monk class wins head and shoulders above any other class (twinked or otherwise).
OP asked for best melee solo class, which implies he wants to solo via melee combat. Bard is awful at melee combat, and will solo well only when avoiding melee combat. My best guesses as to why they're in the melee subsection? They dual wield, wear plate, and don't fit in the other subsections.
