You just described 80% of my time with FFXI. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Group activity in the game is healthy, especially with the recent population resurgence but you play at pretty awful hours, so the more self reliant you can be the better. I'd like to make a biased recommendation that you try a Shaman. They're so good at a lot of things, really useful in a duo with most melee classes and really useful in a group as well. There are very few situations where you won't be able to have something to contribute.
