I have to say, I love pole parties the most. most money, cheapest shot wise, and why fight em one at a time if you can fight em 4 or 8 at a time. so anyone with polearm masteries rocks at PvE. personally, i enjoy turning mobs blue.
I think with the addition of pots, go with a pole specialist. I loved poling with my dwarf way back in the day. Nothing is better than watching that xp bar leap forward. And its like a pinata popped when you get took pick up all that loot.
