Tankers and Stalkers, so far for me, have proved to get the biggest boost. Tankers can take both shields AND attacks, while still having room to slot in a travel power without issue. And Stalkers no longer have to juggle BU + Placate/Fitness/Potential Travel power at the 12-20 range, and have to sacrifice less of their attacks into the bargain.
That three power difference is actually a helluva lot.

I found my dominators REALLY loved the inherent stamina!
Thanks devs, luv ya all!
The last buncha times I played before getting caught up in the endless homework of making a new MA arc I was leveling up some new toons, including an MA/SS scrapper, an Elec/Mace tank, and an Ill/Rad troller (who's still sans Fitness pools at 33 as I was planning for this change).
When I heard about this change coming I was pretty well excited and could see the possibilities already. I just remember that scrapper leaving her SS powers off all the time (below 20) because I couldn't afford to run them and fight at the same time... so I was already well aware of just how much better this would make the low levels.
Now if I can just finish that stupid arc and PLAY! 
I love fire tankers. My first 40 then 50 was a Fire/Fire tank and they have been my favorites for a long time even if they are squishie for a tank.
However the building of an actual tank and not a slightly tougher scrapper for over 30 levels is a bit daunting as I have pondered a new character. That has all changed, now I can get Tough and 14 and Weave at 20.
I can get Burn at 18 and not sacrifice attack chains to survive. With IO's for Knockback I can skip Acrobatics, Combat Jump and Super Jump. What a difference it made in how I felt at rolling a brand spanking new Fire tank for the first time in many years.
I looked at the powers and when I get to take them and it made me smile as I walked my new level 1 Fire tank up those Atlas stairs last night. Thank you, I missed playing a new baby fire tank and now he can be a real tank in his early 20's not in his mid-30's!
