This really depends on level.
Shaman (DS pots) or Druids rape powerleveling low levels. I don't think this is disputable.
Monk might win the mid-level, but I still think Shaman wins here.
Enchanters are going to be kings of high-level power level. I don't think this is disputable.

We were mostly talking about higher levels in that thread. The rate he had claimed (90 min for half of 53 on a warrior) is the same rate I achieved before epics. I'd imagine it's better now, as I was clearing 2/3 of north wing HS while PL'ing a 59 warrior the other day. I've never witnessed enc PL, but it could theoretically be much better than anything else. You'd need a lot of high level mobs though, as I'm sure it would be tough for an enc to break charm and recharm about once per minute as I was doing in HS. Maybe not though, I don't play an enc often enough.
Up until 20 or so, druid is certainly best. I think monk may be best in mid levels, as certain changes to the game (particularly mob run speed) have greatly affected shaman mid level PL. It was great back in the day, pulling 1/3 of solA at a time, letting ds rape the mobs and then have the level 20 avatar'ed melee kill the runners. Also, monk really shines against mobs 20 levels below them.
I'm pretty confident that shaman is best for 50+ though, and I'll gladly take this wager once I do a little more work on my technique. Haven't been in the business much since getting epic.
Also, the mob count metric is a poor idea. I highly doubt a monk is going to PL in HS where so much HT damage must be absorbed. So we'd be PL'ing in different areas with different ZEMs, mob levels, etc. xp gain is the only important metric. Also, we'd have to agree on certain conditions of the PL'ee. Shaman PL is much more dependent on both the gear and skill of the person being PL'ed. I know monk PL does require the person have some moderate skill and gear, but the xp gain isn't wildly different if the person has haste or not, etc.
