If anything I would have to pick Fury as one of the worst solo classes in the game. We are like wizards or warlocks without the root. Our aa root is crap. Our snare is poor to useless. Our dps is far less than mages with crowd control. Our mitigation is barely better than mages. Wardens have similar single target damage and they have a fantastic root so they would be my first choice for a solo priest.
I love Furies, I think they are one of the best all round classes but they suck at soloing compared to other classes. Who knows though EoF may change all that.
