Are there any posts/sites that talk about compositions that synergize well? Looking for what to level next, and most importantly, looking to put together a really strong group as we level.
You're already doing it lol. Party composition in Feast is 1 Tank, 1 Healer, 1 melee dps and 1 ranged dps. If you are planning on playing the tank in the party, then you're already well on your way to having one leveled.

Pld is, by FAR, more useful in PvP than it is in PvE, and it has good synergy with most party compositions. That said, it takes a bit more attention to detail to play well, because it's CC is so vast. You have to really juggle Dps support/healer support and enemy healer suppression, which takes a lot of practice. you'll be low on the dps, but very high on party defense and support. So you'll want to really learn how to use your stuns effectively (timed well and using maximum duration), as well as what party support moves are best used in what circumstances.

The other viable tanking option is War. They're more on the line for Dps support, as they have a very flexible and powerful burst. In terms of single target lock-down and healer harassment, they can work some wonders (especially when paired with a slashing Dps such as Ninja), but their party defense and friendly healer support is lacking in comparison to Pld.

The only Tank that most people wouldn't recommend is Dark Knight. It has a very good burst, but it's harder to use effectively than War's. It also lacks party support in any capacity. Short of debuffing the enemy Dps, Drk tends to fall behind in how well it can support the team.

As for the rest of the team, most party compositions work pretty well together regardless of what jobs are in the line up. Some do work a little better together than others, but it falls to personal skill and job knowledge to make the most of your team.
