Roll the enchanter. Just like a magician, you can do a lot with it PvE and they are good in PvP. And it will be a different style of play.
Hybrids are just not realistic on this server. While casters can solo levels in 3hrs basically anywhere, you will be at 5+ hours per level on low blues. If you start with friends, be prepared to be left far behind and feel useless. Unless you are in a big group, no one will want to duo with you and share the xp penalty. When it comes to actual PvP, the resist threshold is so high that you will be 2-3 shotted by casters while hoping that an arrow interrupts.
Class diversity may make for a more fun game, but there is no way around the fact that you do less damage than a caster at a slower rate while you have to kill 30% more mobs to level.

Most of your points are ok. It is worthwhile to point out that you are incorrect regarding hybrid penalty being shared by the group. Yes, I like most everyone else thought this was the case all through live. It seems like the super blueb's from the blue server have figured out that we've always assumed wrong.
Having a hybrid in group should NOT lower the exp gain for everyone else. The ONLY thing the game cares about when it splits up the exp from a kill is the TOTAL AMOUNT of experience each member has accumulated since level 1. Obviously, at the same amount of total xp earned, a hybrid will be a lower level than a normal non-penalized class, but they will still get the same amount of exp per kill.
