I love my Felhunter. He's more durable than the succubus and does more damage the Void Walker, and Spell Lock, Paranoia, Devour Magic and Tainted Blood make a nice combination of talents. His major drawback is that he doesn't hold aggro very well unless you spam Paranoia (which I haven't found particularly effective and distracts me from the business of mob killing). He's usually my choice of pet when soloing.
In a group I'll usually use an imp, possibly the Felhunter if there are a lot of casters floating around, sometimes the Voidwalker if we need an extra tank.
My priest just hit level 31 on Monday. I went Shadow up to 30 to get Silence, and now I'll start spreading talent points around the other trees. I tend to use a mixture of Mind Blasts and staff bashes to subdue the forces of evil. It might not be the fastest way to fight mobs, but it helps conserve mana for healing if adds show up.
I'd say Priests are quite durable in solo play since they have so many ways to heal themselves while they still have mana.
