Assassins
In PvE, they dominate..nothing can come close to the insane damage output of Moebius/DB, and few melee classes can match the sheer power that comes with permanent crit defenses AND crit agility...I mean, I'm so used to having 110 AL, 75% Block (defensively) and unblockable attacks which do reeeeally high damage, plus deep wound/kd/degen depending on what you fancy at the moment, I really find anything else lacking (warrior? dervish? para? booo!!)
Oh yea, and I don't PvP, so I don't care that they got nerfed to oblivion and had most of their good builds killed off.
If I had to pick a close second, I'd say Necromancer. They're really strong and when I play on my Ele for instance, its embarassing how weak all other caster classes are.

I beg to differ. Mesmers look great with chaos gloves.

Ritualist, on account that I greatly enjoy playing versatile classes. Ritualist is likely the most diverse class in terms of what and how much it can bring to the table, so, ergo, I enjoy it. There's just something appealing about being able to deal damage, heal, buff, and run all with one character. Of course, I'm talking mainly about PvP, since you're most likely insane if you run any caster in PvE that isn't a Necro or Monk.
I suppose Paragaon comes in a close second, as, once again, they're quite versatile, bringing damage, buffs, healing, and more to the table. Oh, and unlike Rits, there's a reason to play them in PvE.

lolganks are a big part of the game for me, and MS-DB rules PvE
Rangers and Warriors are close runners-up; R for being better at skirmishing, W for 3-second Bull's Strike

Warrior
Because out of every MMO I've ever played, Guild Wars is the only game that gets this class right. You read me, none of that sword and board, taunting and aggro crap. Get into the fray and kill stuff.
Pros: Easy to grasp, highest armor, very powerful in PvP if you're not an idiot.
Cons: Bad reputation, too many idiots, too many inefficient or underpowered elites. Too many generic skills, but I guess that comes with the profession.

not the highest dmg
I've tested both Assassins and Warriors, both having their respective "highest" damage builds. And both came out at about 61-65 DPS. Dervishes I dunno about though.

Necro
Pros: Amazing primary att. Awsome party buffs and support, curses = pure sexy win. And of course MINIONS. Who dosen't want a person around who can bring in 10 extra allies into battle? All that's not to mention they look awsome from the character creation screen on.
Cons: Not as powerful in pvp. Things that deal holy damage and have hex removal really put a wrench into my plans (hate the griffons in the shiverpeaks)
close second are Assassin and Ritualist (yes I <3 factions)

mesmers offer (almost)no advantage as a primary profession in PvE. provide an example where casting a skill a little bit faster would actually be more useful than SR/Estorage. (echoing Mshower is not useful, fyi)

Aside from making the turtles easier to keep alive in gyala hatchery(although I'm sure there are better ways of doing it) nothing big springs to mind. Fast Casting is more of a convinence in pve then anything.
Playing a primairy mesmer in pve may not be optimal but its the most fun(for me) and pve isn't near hard enough to choose a less fun but more powerful pve class. I prefer it to SR/Estorage because e-managment is easy and cast times annoy me.
