I’m kind of in the same boat as you, only my choices are:
Engineer
Warrior
Ranger
Mesmer
My choice would be:
Guardian:
1) I find it to be one of the most balanced classes in the game and I can really adapt and fill multiple roles in WvW. It truly makes WvW a lot more fun without having to change characters.
2) PvE/Dungeon I’ve never had an issue with him, and all I do is PUG. I’ve been on some scary PUG teams and have found that because of my build it probably made the difference of succeeding or not. Although I would assume giving the class structure in GW2 more than just a Guardian can fill that role.
3) Support: I’m not a huge solo player. I really enjoy being able to play a great supporting role. But don’t get me wrong, I can definitely handle 2v1 and sometimes 3v1 with this class so when I do want to solo play, I again don’t have to change to a thief, or ranger, or any other class… I can do it with my guardian, with only changing 1 or 2 traits. (Again, this could probably be said for majority of classes… And that’s why I enjoy this game so much. There is no defined tank, healer etc etc… Although some classes can do it better than others… You can still accomplish those roles with majority of classes in different ways).
I have fully geared/leveled Guardian, Necromancer, Thief, Elementalist and my Ranger is like 70ish but I’m not a huge fan of the class… Guardian is by FAR the top of my list and I constantly find myself always choosing my Guardian when I login.
I really enjoy my elementalist as well, but they have seen some hard times and I feel they are a very predictable class to play against as they don’t have as much build variety as other classes.
Goodluck with whatever you choose! And if you could help me decide between a Warrior/Mesmer/Engineer that would be awesome too!!
