I'm running game that is now well into epic levels. The PC cleric entered the Hierophant class as of level 21, because by then he could gain all the cool powers and not give up ANYTHING... Well ok, so he sufferes a small dip in his ability to rebuke undead, but he's never used it very much anyway. You might say he loses out on a bouns Epic feat or two, but that's not quite true; the hierophant can choose any metamagic feat as his granted special ability, so if he wants he can get one epic feat per level for five levels.
There are several classes like that out there; very well balanced at "normal" levels but way too powerful on epic levels... :\
