Warriors have more hp and dps then a shadow knight, and a good warrior doesn't have a problem with aggro with two rogues as the primary dps.

At what point does a tank warrior with 30+ lower str and sta pass a tank SK in hp and dps? I was under the impression that those stats plus the SK pet and spells would more than make up for the warrior having a better damage table.

This isn't a race bonus conversation, it's a class one, so why bring up barbarian vs halfling rogue? Each group has an enchanter, tank, rogue and cleric, so we can call them a wash. So it becomes Rogue Shaman vs. Bard Ranger. Can you tell the difference, cause I sure can.

My bad, I was starting to feel like it was more a discussion of xp penalties than just hybrid xp penalties.
Fine then. Rogue shaman vs. bard ranger. The group with the two hybrids needs only ~13% more xp than the group without. 3 blues on a level. That's not a difference you can notice unless you're leveling under laboratory conditions.
And while the rogue brings more damage than the ranger, that's all he brings. And while the shaman buffs are amazing for melee and slow is awesome for everyone, not every group is stacked with melee and enc/bard slows are nothing to sneeze at, while the bard also brings some unique and powerful tools to the group (mana regen, resists, and a bit of everything else).
With good players behind each keyboard, at best you can't put your finger on which group is going to perform better overall just because one has ranger and bard and the other has any two non-hybrids. Though I'll admit that I'd rather have a bad rogue in my group than a bad bard or a bad ranger.
