Stalkers & Dominators I can never seem to get past 20 before get annoyed with them.
Heroes: Phobos-, Protector-Bot, Shadow of Ra, Bionic Eye, Entropic Chaos, Strike-Freedom.
Villains: Necron Phobos, Khorne-Berzerker, Full Metal Panic, Smasher Devourer, Degrees Kelvin.

Off topic: How about the One Thousand Cuts animation. Teehee.
On topic: Oh, I also can't play Dominators long because I'm horribly underwhelmed with Control primaries. All the AoE controls have horrible durations and recharges.
Heroside: Tankers. No idea why, but they just really don't appeal to me. I also struggle a little with controller concepts, so the only one I have tried I have found to be quite dull at the lower levels. I'm now determined to get the new version I have up past 33 to access the Tier 9 primary and get it slotted a bit. If I still don't like it, I think I'll delete the toon again. I'm not a huge fan of melee-based toons in this game, so that puts scrappers low on my list, as well.
Villainside: Stalkers. Sorry, they just don't sound like fun. They suffer from the "I don't like melee-based toons" thing, and a character whose entire concept is based around stealthily moving just doesn't really appeal. Brutes suffer for the same reasons I don't like tankers. MMs... I tried one and didn't really get on with it very well, so gave up fairly early on. I like my corrupter and my doms, though.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
Hero side: PB's dont really appeal to me as they just seem to be Warshades with worse human powers.
Villain side: I have a problem playing almost all the AT's but particularly Dominators. I find they are too poor out of domination and too good in domination. Having a greater hold mag than a controller just doesn't feel right to me.

They make decent enough scrappers in the higher levels, it's just getting there.
The stealth/hide thing is a major pain actually. It's the only real advantage a stalker gets and it's completely worthless in 95% of a mayhem mission where almost every thing ambushes you. There are also a large number of normal missions which start and end with ambushes these days and those see right through hide as well. If you can't scrap your way out of the ambushes you're dead.
Controllers, Defenders. Boring boring boring.
