My guild is currently 7/9 with nice progress on herald. I play a 50 mage in mostly raid gear.
Aside from the many many bugs (WoW had its share in vanilla as well), the game is a nice break from the pool of children WoW has become known for. With that said I can only vouch for this game's raiding potential, PvP holds my attention for awhile but its lacking from other games like DAOC, War, or even WoW. Greenscales Blight was very fun, but the trash mess Trion created in River of Souls is some what frustrating. If you have the ability or contacts to start raiding from 50 I would recommended Rift. If you do not have this capability; wait for SWoR.
As for class pick a style you want. If you choose Mage expect to support or run cookie cutter dps. The rest are self explanatory.

level 50 mage - full T2 Epics, some raid
level 50 warrior - Best of the best of the best DPS AND tank gear pre raid
If you like grinding the same content over and over again yeah it is,
(the poster above is correct, warriors right now are currently the heart and soul of Rift.)
