About the soloing, Arena.net's plan seems to consist of several parts.
First, there will be a series of missions that you have to follow in a specific order - after completing them, my impression is that PvP will be unlocked. They are designed to be more of a tutorial.
After they are completed, there will probably be either single missions, or optional branches that you could follow. Or, of course, you could head out, and PvP.
From the reports of the alpha testers, it seems that while PvP is obviously not 100% balanced, every single class is highly effective. There also seem to be many different builds for each one - this isn't 1.09 Diablo 2, where every single "Best" barbarian would use whirlwind, every single "Best" druid had to be a wolf, etc, etc.
