Untrue! (Though I am personally guilty of making some very self-sufficient CharOp builds...)

Some interesting recent work has been about pairs of characters that work well together (for example: Unleashing Feywild: Feysword and Feyblade - a hardcore teleporting damage combo! - Wizards Community). Party design is new territory. We will see it mapped out eventually.

In the mean time, more concrete suggestions:
- Battlerager Fighter who takes no Invigorating powers, and relies on a Valor Bard and a Laser Cleric for his temporary hit points. Throw in a Barbarian who uses a Bloodclaw weapon two-handed and you've got a second user of the free temp hp.
