I think the people who don't like Beastlords are only looking at it from the "What can you do for ME" perspective. I absolutely loved soloing the class and I belonged to a pretty good guild on Mith Marr who I did a little raiding with. Most BLs I knew were also in guilds but were of the same mindset as far as solo: "If I can't find a group, I can go it alone".

They made for a very versatile class but suffered from the hybrid phenomenon. They could slow but 2 classes did it better. They had shaman buffs though shaman could do it better. BL was great for solo, duo and trio. For min/max groups, groups were just built in ways that made their perks irrelevant. Having a shaman basically relegated them to melee/pet/regen. Their heals were actually not bad - they got chloroblast from velious along with their overpowered pet heals.
On a classic eq server their pet would do sufficient damage by itself to warrant a group spot, however. They would pair nicely with enchanter as they bring shaman buffs to the table and can take the burden of slowing off the enchanter.
