I don't see how you discount SS Rits but not Necros using Soul Reaping to be pretend Monks/Mesmers/whatever. SS itself doesn't define the build; it just enables the viable usage of martial weapons, just like soul reaping. A dagger rit plays differently to and adds different things to the team than an axe rit, which plays differently to and adds different things to the team than a spear rit.
