A raid is comprised of a couple phases where classes are utilized differently throughout.

Getting FTE - Here bards for their speed, rangers for their track, rogues for their sneak and monks for their FD are used.

Pulling the mob to camp - Bards again for their speed and their ability to AE aggro adds, monks of course

Establishing aggro - Warrior clearly, knights, rangers can do a few things to help here like usage of their weaponshield discipline to make a little speed bump til CH chain is rolling

Fighting the mob - Suddenly the usage of the bard, ranger, monk, and rogue are much different. Rogue primarily will focus on not dying and DPSing - however may perform mid-fight corpse runs with hide/sneak. Rangers again may serve as speed bumps.

Most classes serve niche rolls in niche instances. Its not an all-in-one play style.
