I have to admit tho, my experience so far with solo WHM blows away my expectations, it's so balanced in most situations, that with a little focus on MP management, there's very few things you can't handle gracefully on your own. I use a very heavy HP + Vit setup double meld parts + GC parts and AF boots for solo, with focus on Earth element. I love it.
PLD dps is so low it removes them from the effective solo category.
Although a PLD can take on most mobs, they are so slow at killing them it's not worth it.

And yes, whm is very effective.
With a decent setup just spamming stone you can out dps melees.
