Have You Run 34/35 POE? Class Discussion Question

[spoiler]So since I've been playing Destiny my Warlock has always been my "main", with my Hunter and then my Titan coming in next in that order. Last night I did the 34 POE for the first time which would have been fairly easy but we had Cabal /Solar a couple times and had Hive / Arc burn for round 4 (the combo they couldn't do in the Bungie stream lol). Needless to say, it was crazy ... after many hours and many more deaths we completed it. Hazaa! I was the warlock and there was a hunter and titan as well with me (they picked me up off LFG). This was the first time that I felt that my warlock was almost useless. Now I say almost useless, but I did have a couple clutch saves that kept us from wiping (as did the other guys) that for my class would not have happened if I couldn't have resurrected myself. I created orbs for the titan so he could bubble constantly while Urrox did his thing so we could survive better and generally did well (grenades etc did some work in the solar burn). BUT I felt that if I had been on my hunter or titan that things would have gone a lot more smoothly - specifically on the disarming of the bombs and generally dipping the f*ck out when needed. For the mines, the hunter would invis grab one and the titan and I would grab the other two together ... after the titan bubbled to get the middle mine (Hive / Arc) we would move to the next one, and of course I died almost every ... single ... time. Knowing what the other classes had to offer, I just kept thinking ... wow a bubble or some invis would make this whole thing a lot easier. As I said, we got through it, all with some clutch plays from everyone, heck Urrox was a breeze once we figured out what to do (concentrate on adds, blah blah etc) but now I'm holding on to that armor core / and an etheric light I got from the chest (a side chest btw) ... and I'm thinking that I'm going to be running a lot of POE and that my #Spacemagic wasn't quite cutting the mustard. VOG HM / CE HM no problems .. but this is quite different. So now I'm considering leveling the Hunter (currently 32) up to 34 before the Warlock (currently 33). [/spoiler] So my question is this ... Do you have multiple classes and have run them in POE? Which class would you recommend leveling up first for POE? I'm looking for some input as to how it worked out for you for each class, and if you felt that Titans / Hunters have a slight advantage in POE considering the mechanics that are at play? I'm not saying Locks got the shaft, I'm just saying that after 3 hours in there - some abilities (Bubble and Invisibility) really started to stand out that seemed to work to our advantage much better than what the Warlock could offer ... maybe there's a setup I need to run, skills that needed to be set, or strat that needs to be done that could have assisted my Warlock POE play? I'm not used to dying that often and it was pretty frustrating. TLDR: Do you have multiple classes and have run them all in POE? If so which did you feel had an easier time at it and why? Game mechanics and class abilities included.

    A hunter's Bladedancer class. There are plenty of times where a Hunter comes in clutch. -When the Brawler Modifier comes on, are blade does increases melee damage. -Invisibility helps get out of sticky situations, and allows for a clutch revive. -Multiple ways to go invisible. -Great agility for running around the map. The only thing Warlocks have is their revive. It's a clutch, but it's also a crutch. If your only strength involves your death, it's not for the Prison Of Elders. And many more.
