I'll disagree with that in the cases where allowing variants creates synergy that wouldn't have existed in the cookie-cutter version. For instance, bringing a shadow priest means your warlocks' shadow damage are synergized by the shadow priest's shadow weaving. Bringing a feral druid can boost up to three rogues by 2% in damage. (for DPS parties, I tend to use rogue, rogue, DPS warrior, feral druid)
