I am glad there are not much "look what my Mechanic can do" videos and screenshots yet. DC 100 traps, a loot of fortification bypass and solid ranged damage are quite a powerful combination.
Shhhhh. Really liking my Mech. It's not the best at everything, it's not a 'zerg the quests and gather groups to kill' build, but it rewards clever strategies and between the ability to do consistently high damage in LD or extreme spike damage in FotW and the other tools you mentioned you can solo things that would cause issues for stronger damage or mitigation builds.

I was doing a full fun on hard with the 3 bosses plus dragon on a barb in 25 minutes. I think rogue would go slower because of the fight against skelly and dragon, but on the other hand miior would go faster.
Mech is really fast too though I doubt I pulled off 25 due to my unfamiliarity with the quest (just started playing again about 4 months ago and learning some of the new content). Miior is a no-brainer as you expected. Skelly I bring my son's bard into the quest and have him stand in the room displaced and ready to roll while I invis up to pull the spear, once the mobs spawn the son's bard gets agro by virtue of being the only visible character in the room, mobs run to him, he fascinates them all, easy kill after that. Mummy is dropping 2 or 3 web traps before fight starts and then just focus-fire on Mummy while triggering the traps in a staggered fashion. Dragon is just focus fire until it's dead. I have more trouble remembering where to go as I've only run it 3 or 4 times alone and everyone has their own pattern so running it with other people didn't help me get an ideal pattern set to the first part of the quest. Also, I run this particular quest in FotW - the ability to create spike damage and not have to worry about losing Master's Blitz seems to work better on that one.
Honestly though I'd rather do it in a group on EE though. Doesn't take much longer than solo EH and the drops are better.
