Sub-classes, are they worth it?

Been thinking about this for a couple of days now, but I was wondering if it is really worth it to have more than one class in Euro. Ill give the following reasons as to why.

1) If there is someone in your party with your sub-class as your main class, why bother using your subclass? They can do the job better than you (have more powerful buffs, more powerful attacks). Why not just stick to the job you are good at?
2) Switching equipment is a pain. I play a cleric/bard, switching between cleric rod when I need to heal, and harp when I need to give the party mana. Hard to keep the party alive when I have that harp on :/ and it takes a little time to switch around.
Also, if you want top notch weapons, thats two expensive items you need to buy.
3) You would probably level faster. Skill points are less in demand when leveling one tree, and therefore you can keep a smaller gap and level faster.

I would find it very annoying for example to play a wizard/warlock, switching between weapons to do this skill and that skill. In partys, people have their specialized jobs, so here am I asking, why not just stick to what you are good at?

Well practice makes perfect, as they say.

I have a few people in my group of party people that took subclasses as a way of balancing the party depending on what is needed. ie, if our cleric gets dced (which is gonna happen) our warlock swtichs over and we wont all die instantly and can run away.

I am a hybrid chinese character and I hardly ever die, I got so used to the 5k hp my lvl 53 has that having a full int euro at lvl 23 with 580 hp I die like 40 times a night. The curse of npc gear ><. I wonder how much hp a full int euro has at cap?

i think warriors should go cleric secondary for sure, only getting heal/res. Wizards and cleric is popular also. I really dont think getting a sub is worth it, unless its just to get res/heal incase you ocassionally double as the parties cleric.
