Still wiping on Ascalonian Catacombs?

I think you'll like the way classes are handled in this game. At level 50 in any class, you have 5? cross-class slots in which you can place abilities from other classes that you've leveled. So, there's some freedom to go beyond your pre-defined role with a little utility.

A Marauder/Gladiator tank can put levels in Conjurer in order to unlock a cure spell so he can emergency heal himself or someone else if he needs to. Of course his Mind attribute will most likely be pretty low compared to a dedicated healer's, so the heal will be less effective.

Then there's the general fact that you can take on any class with a single character, combat or crafting, simply by equipping a tool or weapon, so you don't have to create a stable of characters in order to fulfill your different whims.
