I don't believe it was hijacked. You didn't specify what situation (solo/group/raid), and raiding is a part of the consideration when asking the general question of which class is the most underpowered overall.
For the specific topic of grouping, I would say there are two answers.
1. Wizard on P99 is the worst grouping class simply due to the stigma against Wizards. Wizards are fine in groups, but because most people think Wizards are bad in groups, the stigma will prevent you from getting groups more than any other class.
2. From a game mechanic standpoint, I would say Ranger/Druid are the worst grouping classes, simply because much of their utility is restricted to outdoor-only zones. A Wizard would overall bring more to the table in a dungeon crawling group than a Druid, unless you really can't find a proper healer. And a Shadowknight/Paladin would obviously be better than a Ranger in a Dungeon. Basically Wizard/Shadowknight/Paladin can work well in either indoor or outdoor scenarios, where Ranger/Druid are typically worse in Dungeons. This means Ranger/Druid should have a harder time finding groups in dungeons, whereas Wizards/Shadowknights/Paladins wouldn't have problems finding groups indoors or outdoors. Only really exception here is something like a Druid in Siren's Grotto, due to it being an animal heavy dungeon. But Sirens Grotto is a very abnormal zone overall.
