What is wrong with Necromancer?

I have been playing Necro ever since I purchased GW2 and
generally feel unhappy about where they fit into the meta
(pretty much nowhere). In GW2 each class is supposed to be
better than the others at something but Necro can do nothing
better than any other classes. Anet knows they need to improve
Necro but I don't see any way without giving the profession a
rework. Anyway I just want to know how you guys think Necro fits
in and how it can improve. (This is my first post so excuse me
if I post in wrong section or something)

I think necro really fits into the meta, especially as of late
I've been playing power necro and let me tell you about that aoe
well/mark damage. Not to mention their high survivability with
life siphons from the blood magic trait line as well as death
shroud despite being a light armored class with little mobility.
Like in pvp, necros are always interesting to see because you've
gotta be careful how you fight them. In wvw they are super in
because they do all that crazy aoe damage. In pve you could
build pretty much anything and it would work, but straight dps
has always been meta for pve builds.
I think necro's fit in just fine, but that could just be me.
That and not everyone plays power necro with wells/marks.

That sounds more like what people say about rangers than what
people usually say about necros. Off the top of my head I can't
think of another class that could chain fears like a necro
could, or could lay down so many aoe's in such a short amount of
time (staff + wells + an itchy trigger finger could mean up to 6
aoe's in only a few seconds, not including staff 5's fear mark).
And I don't think any other class could apply/proliferate condis
quite as well as a necro could.
I mean, I'm not a super expert on necros or anything, my main's
always been a ranger, which people tend to universally agree is
the least useful class in the game, so when people get down on a
class that can and has curbstomped me in 0.5 seconds I'm always
confused about why. :O
