So far, when I just want to solo an arc to see what the creator has made, my go to character is a Dark Melee / Willpower brute. Gets to see everything close and can live through a great deal.
My main concern now is to immunize my mobs from holds / immobilizes and harden them enough that the minions will survive a blaster nuke.

Just make sure to let the player know in the arc introduction that you're creating missions that are meant to have a tanker on the team. I have no problem in general with people creating hard missions, or missions aimed at a particular type of team. What I don't like is finding this out by accident. I have mostly been soloing MA arcs with my controller and mez resistant minions make most missions overly difficult compared to what I've come to expect. If you disclose, then I can either avoid your arc or play it if I'm feeling particularly masochistic.
Freedom: Blazing Larb, Fiery Fulcrum, Sardan Reborn, Arctic-Frenzy, Wasabi Sam, Mr Smashtastic.
Permadom for the win.
If you enjoy being able to get up from the PC once in a while withouth having to worry about missing activation of Hasten - or you're just too lazy to care - I'd do with:
1) Scrapper / Brute
2) Night Widow
My NW flies through arcs as if I had the Super Nintendo Godmode code installed.
Theoretically there are some Corruptor, Controller, and MM builds that could accomplish the same feat, but If I'm too lazy to play my PermaDom, I'm WAAAAAAAY too lazy to play one of those.... 
Why do I do do do things I do
Nobody was ever there for me to talk to
Once I was youngster, pure and true
Now I'm running with a sick, sick crew.

I want to make sure that they need to be tanked rather than simply kited, is all.

While I've not run into the issue yet on the fire/kin controller I've been soloing in MArc, a mission/arc like this would have me going 'Meh' and quitting. While I DON'T one star for a mission being to tough, You will get feedback saying in short that it wasn't fun.
When everything resists what I do, I have no reasonable way to succede.

What is still occurring is the I do it on this level in PvE I "should be able to do the same on MA, blame the author 1 star ragequit.
People still need to recognize MA critters are tougher than PvE critters period.

I wonder how frustrated the dev missions team must have been all these years. Unable to implement challenges they have thought up as it would create an outcry as too many people wouldn't be able to complete it.
It is only since the MA launched that I have to think about how I am using control with my Mind Dom. For instance, mobs with mezz protection, but no repel protection is really making tk a gem of a power to have.
