Thinking of it the wrong way.
They're playing useful chars in raids to eventually spend their DKP to gear their knights so they can go enjoy the game outside the raid scene.
Hitting CH on an uber geared cleric doesn't feel any cooler than on a crap geared cleric bot. Doing solo / single group stuff with a full BiS hybrid is a heck of a lot more fun than a crappy geared hybrid.
I watched Sudz completely destroy sebilis by himself right after he got his Vulak axe. He was definitely having a good time.

Exactly right. A heavily geared hybrid can do very well in those situations compared to a Warrior or Monk with non raid gear and gear you can buy (excluding people who can drop a million plat or more). Unfortunately gearing up a Warrior or Monk is EXTREMELY competitive in guilds, so you need to spend a LOT more time raiding if that is your goal. You could mostly get BiS gear on a hybrid in a fraction of the time and DKP it takes to do on a Warrior or Monk. This obviously excludes overlapping interests like Vulak Axe. But there are plenty of great, fairly cheap raid weapons a Paladin or Shadowknight can get that aren't interesting or useable by Monks and Warriors, and they would be within the top 15 best DPS weapons you could get.
