[Update]
Last night I went home loaded up my accounts made my 4 dks (already had the 5th one @ 80 no use loggin him in) and I started my quest towards well whatever. Last night after playing for 5 hours I got to level 60 and this is my finding.
Playing 4 melee classes which I was really under the impression of being a nightmare was easy as can be. With follow strobing on and all my skills macroed I was ripping things a part in just a few hits. All 4 dks were blood with imp rune tap as well as the glyph. with this every 30 seconds I was getting a 90% heal when ever any of my team was a little down. I would roll up on groups of mobs and IT PS spread the plague and blood boil and just laugh as the xp would flow like wine. having all 4 ghouls out, combined with blood worms and dancing runeblade was literally the funniest thing ever! Nothing and I mean NOTHING stood a chance. To be honest the excitment scale was quite high then it would dip down while questing/grinding then it would shoot back up once I got a new skill.
Then last night something hit me.... What do I really want out of these guys? To be honest I really dont know.
Do I want epic single target dmg? Because my 5 shammys beat this hands down
Do I want to do heroics? I already have a team that can do this quite ez mode
Do I want someone that can AOE like a champ? Again 5 nova totems combined with 5 thundshocks is an AOE champ
Am I just totally bored with nothing to do? Possible but last night I played for 5 hours and didnt stop and to be honest I really dont want to put myself through another 20 levels of epic grind.
So my conclussion.
Do I think they can do dungeons? Yes I really do a 100% heal every 30 seems really good.
Do I think they can do Heroics? Not without a bunch of blood sweat and tears.
Do I think they would whip total ass in world/BG pvp? Oh hell ya I really dont think someone could take them out if your playing them right (again every 30 sec is a Lay on Hands for your entire team basically)
Do I think I will get them to 80? probably not the sole reason being that I dont want to invest the time. The time to level them. The time to Gear them, and the time to devote to them the time I really feel that they need.
So Im back at square one. Wondering what to do with my free time. Wondering what game I can play to pass the time after a long days work. Wanting to find something that will challenge me. My biggest hope is that Champions Online will be someone fun/decent, and boxable as this looks like a great game to me. I tried Aion and I have to so im not that impressed with it. I did the chineese beta thing and dispite the fact that I couldnt communicate with anyone I felt that the game was missing something especially once you get to level 30 and get tossed into the Abyss but thats an entirely different story.
So im looking at you boxers! What are you doing to pass the time? EQ2? WOW? COH/COV? I just dont know here are my views of those games
EQ2 I only leveled a Necro to 30 something and this was quite a while ago. The game was a ton of fun to play however the combat seemed pretty bland.
WoW We just went over that no need to repeat other then to say I have 6 level 80s and not a care in the world to actually play them =(
COH/COV looked like it would be super fun to play but apparently its a real pain in the ass to box and you can only box however many comps you have. (that being only 2 in my case) so im not thinking its really worth it. (side note how funny would it be to have 5 masterminds FF/Dark Miasma robots.) Then again you really wouldnt be playing @ all you would just summon your crap and walk through stuff.
Thank you to all my boxing friends I have to say this is probably one of the best / most mature forums I have ever been a part of and I continually check this place even with im not boxing. Thank you to the mods and the community that make this place what it is!
Thanks for reading.

(P.S) Tales is a freaking great game! I am enjoying the hell out of it but there seems to be some sort of disconnect for me when it comes to playing Console games I cant put my finger on it but im just like so blah about it.
