Disciple - Still Borked?

I'm curious if the Disciple is still a borked class? Shortly after release there was so much clamor about them being overpowered, as the class was capable of soloing and made a fantastic back up healer, that it was quickly nerfed and had most of its originality and purpose gutted from it. Has this changed at all?

    I just started a Disciple and got him to level 18. Disciples are a blast and are unique in the MMOG genre. Its like playing an EQ 1 monk who can cast heals and also heal / buff via attacks. They are very soloable.

    This is an exaggaration. I did play disciple after the nerf and found the class very fun and unique.

    And I played before and a little after the nerrf. It felt like they gutted the uniqueness out of it and made it a useless class incapable of soloing effectively and almost worthless in a group.

    The Disciple is a unique class, effective as a soloer and grouper.

     

    As a healer, besides the Bear Shaman, the Disciple is the most effective tank.  A friend of mine plays a Disciple, and when we duo he is the tank.  I am a Cleric.

     

    The Disciple is something of a cross between the monk and a Cleric.
