If you want to toss in abilities and tomes, then Paladins would beat everyone being when they are fighting an undead mob, their dps is about 500% of that of a bizurker.
That's the thing about comparing apples to apples. The testing cannot include Disciplines and Spells or undead specific targets if you are testing the damange and defense formulas of melee. It would be a different test for comparing the damage Disciplines/Spells and defense Disciplines/Spells of melees. Ultimateley the different tests would have a possible "combined power" rating.

So... does each class have a separate formula for melee? If so that would make it easier. If not, much harder.

Do you lower melee ability to balance thier spell power or lower spell power to balance their melee ability?

Wizards have minimal melee so they are ballanced out in spell power. Some classes have pets, melee and spells. A balance of all three combined is needed. Warriors, Monks... melee and disciplines. Shadowknights, Paladins... melee, disciplines and spells but Shadowknights also have pets! It isn't as easy as saying 'nerf monks' to balance their power against other classes.

Separating the tests like this could show that the damage/defense formulas are working fine and that the special Disciplines and Spells are over powered and then the correct thing could be tweaked.
