I kinda feel like the Striker role is one not exactly suited to the Divine Power Source, much as other people have said a Controller might simply not fit the Martial souce.  I picture the thread running through the Divine power source as being an emphasis on defeating enemies through attrition and a flood of self-buffs/heals.  There was some other thread (too lazy to find) which discussed the unique play styles single power source parties might have, and based on that discussion Divine parties would definitely be the "slow and steady" approach to combat tactics, wearing enemies down in longer battles of attrition where the monsters simply run out of health to keep up with a party of Buffed-up, self-healing tanks.  (Not to suggest that all Divine characters are Tank-ish, but they all can certainly keep themselves and others in their party alive better than the average class is capable of).  A striker would seem to directly oppose that concept.Then again, we already know that Arcane is getting a Defender (Swordmage).  So maybe that whole concept is kinda bunk... I forget if the conclusion that discussion came to was that Defender or Leader was most anathema to the Arcane style of combat.</blockquote>
