Having played every class at least a little bit, I'd have to agree on the GWF, for the most part. The problem is survivability. Whereas the Trickster Rogue can be accurately described as a "glass cannon", it's one HECK of a cannon. The same can't be said of the GWF. While damage is decent, it's not nearly on par with the TR, and you tend to rely heavily on healing potions to stay alive.
The Guardian Fighter is exactly what you'd think: heavily armored with lots of damage mitigation, making them extremely difficult to kill.
The Control Wizard is squishy but has enough "control" abilities to keep himself/herself out of too much trouble.
You're spot on with the Devoted Cleric, though I did almost die once or twice to sheer numbers.
