Every class can handle every other class - it just depends on builds, the player skill, and the equipment that everyone's using as to who wins...
Here's what I tell people about necros before I agree to personally teach them tactics and such (I'll post stuff on boards w/o this of course):
"Necromancers are the easiest class to build, hardest to master." - aka you can completely mess one up, and have him still be applicable (usually...not always *shudder*) - which other classes can't claim.... but to truly kill fast you have to master the necromancer and his neuances...which isn't extremely easy (intricate cursing methods like getting 3-4 curses on 1 group to optimise damage, which spells are better in situations, minion control *people have a hard time with that amazingly*, and golem selection).
Hope that helps.
