Questions about wvw
Personally, for roaming, my favorite has always been mesmer all along through its ups and downs. For big groups I have played every class, but favorites are guardian and engi, more specifically, guardian and scrapper. Used to play necro a lot as well, but scrapper replaced it for me.
Scrapper actually performs well in both large scale and group, all I do is switch 1 trait, from stability on dodge to the 20% condi resist and switch utilities, mainly sneak gyro instead of elixir X or mortar.
All 3 of the professions you listed are better in groups rather then roaming, especially if you have herald on your rev unlocked. I have seen heralds perform very well and do some amazing sustain along with druids. So I don’t know what to say for your choices, there are some people that roam on various “Nike” build warriors, but they don’t do that well, their strong point is to disengage and run away rather then stay and win fights. necros are not good at roaming because of lack of stealth and lack of high mobility, sure you can win 1 v 1 here and there, but this is WvW, its extremely rare to 1v1, its 1vX most of the time and you need the escapes.
I don’t know too much about revenant roamers, I have not had a chance to do that on mine yet, and the ones I ran into in 1v1 I pretty much destroyed with ease no matter which one of my toons I was on, therefore so far I don’t think revenants make good roamers at all, but the verdict is still out as a lot of people are still learning it and discovering builds, maybe it will change.

Engi is a dps class where in a big group fight can easy die ?
No experience on Rev. I would suggest Necroman. He’s pretty awesome for large groups and decent for small groups but lacks the ability to run away. Necros can pretty much hold their own against most things in an even fight.
Engineers are very strong in small/medium groups, but not meta in large groups; you can still use them fairly effectively, perhaps more so as a scrapper.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

Roaming wise, Warriors are good for running away and dropping rez banners. While they have good mobility (sword/greatsword) they can’t lock on to targets unless you hamper this with a hammer or to a lesser extent, a shield.
Edit : if you feel insecure, you can always use rampage (if you are not shrugged off by the nerfs).
In zergs, the cc from hammer is nice, but the rez banner is probably the only thing you would want from him a Herald could not do better…
Roaming powerhouses are currently Mesmers, Chronomancers and Scrappers. Other classes make great fighters but lack mobility/escape.
Zergs… there are so many good group classes to choose right now.
Of the classes you picked, necro with Reaper elite would be my pick in either case. If you are going to be slow might as well be running around in beast mode.
