However, engineering rogues are really good, since rogues can vanish and survive a wipe.Since many hunters end up taking engineering, they too can pull this stunt with the use of Feign Death to shed the aggro in a safe spot. If they have the presence of mind to move back and use the skill prior to the wipe getting to them, they have a good chance to survive.

Soulstoning someone who can bring the whole group back is pretty obvious, but if the person who is soulstoned dies near a spawn point, isn't the pally going to be better able to get out of there to rez? I also don't know what condition you come back in when a soulstone brings you back so I'm assuming you are pretty weak just like if a spell brings you back.
I'm really not sure on this. I don't have enough experience with either class yet, and even if in some cases the paly might be a better a choice I realize the priest is never a bad choice. I'm just wondering if you had the luxury of choosing one or the other, which would be better.
Read Tal's earlier post. The paladins have a different method that can allow them to survive in situation like this. The priest does not really have any good options on their own. So it would be better to have the soulstone on the priest as it then gives the party two different ways to avoid a wipe instead of all the chances hinging on one characters action. Almost all the wipe out prevention methods do require some effort on the player that is going to get out of the fight and bring the rest back. Sometimes it just is not going to be practical for one player to make that effort in time, so more characters with the option is a really good thing.
