Default Break down of power by class for new players

I was curious in getting feedback from current players/returning red players, What criteria you would rate the classes by for pvp capability? In my mind there is X=Survivability Y=Killing Power and Z=Versatility if we were to plot it out.

What I want is responses and votes. There are 14 classes. If you were to rank all 14 of the classes against each of the others, where, 1-14, do you rank each class. I know teams/mass pvp alters this but assume each class was doing 1v1 against every other class in succession, how each one would rank. Mine is from the perspective of no lvl 40+ PVP and new to the red99 server, but with several classes in the 30-40 range and friends in range and discussing with people I play with, so not sure I have enough to contribute fully. May be hard to isolate it to purely 1-14 but if you don't want to do 1-14 or can't decide, could perhaps just do low, average, and high at least to indicate better or worse that average in each regard.

So, by Survivability/Killing Power/Versatility

Casters
Enchanter -/-/-
Magician -/-/-
Necromancer -/-/-
Wizard -/-/-

Priests
Cleric -/-/-
Druid -/-/-
Shaman -/-/-

Melee
Monk -/-/-
Rogue -/-/-
Bard -/-/-
Ranger -/-/-

Tanks
Warrior -/-/-
Paladin -/-/-
Shadow Knight -/-/-

This is EQ and single player mode in this game is WILDLY unbalanced, intentionally putting walls in place to encourage group play, as the first true MMO... but it'd help some newcomers to know more about what they want to play. Obviously there will be cliffnotes for *highly gear dependent characters (all melee) and similarly **late bloomers (like SK and Sham are late bloomers that don't really come to power til after lvl 30) but most of this is stuff people know from blue anyways.

Sure I'll get 80 troll posts, but curious on genuine feedback form the few who will bother. Hadn't seen any "guides" in regards to this. and for the record, I am of the "play what you enjoy playing" school of thought, and believe all classes are viable and fun both pve and pvp, but some of my characters are definitely faceroll vs hardmode day and night different for a pvp newb.
