Solo vs. Elite Mobs

[MongoJerry]

My first instinct was to say mages are the best at soloing elites if they can slow and root the enemy, although after reading other posts here, I'll agree that hunters are probably better. Mages have all the dps advantage of warlocks without the messiness of accidentally fear kiting mobs into adds. Let me tell you, it really pissed me off that the Eye of Shadow dropped in a zone (the demon area of Winterspring) where mages could solo the mobs easily and where my priest couldn't (or could maybe kill succubi barely at a really slow pace if exactly spec'd right).
