My favorite so far:

Krogan Sentinel

Powers - Tech Armor (Durability, Melee Damage, Durability), Lift Grenade (Damage, Max Grenades, Slam), Krogan Berzerker (Weapon Damage, Headshots, Weapon Damage), Rage (Melee Damage, Martial Artist, Pure Rage)
Weapons - Mattock (Scope, Stability Damper), Geth Plasma Shotgun (Smart Choke, High Caliber Barrel)

Strategy:
The Geth Plasma Shotgun has semi-homing shells and does superior damage, so at medium range I use it for everything. The Mattock is around just in case, and I only plan to use it until I get something better for that slot, or a better sniper rifle, but for now it makes a reasonable, accurate, long ranged weapon. At close rage I melee anything that's in front of me and keep Rage going as long as possible. If there are too many enemies around I throw a Lift Grenade to thin things out. Krogans are durable as hell, and with the damage reduction from Tech Armor going all the time, this build is very tough to kill. My only regret is that the melee animation doesn't have the dual omni-blade slice like Turians and Humans!

It's the most fun I've had with any class so far.

Turian Sentinel w/ Geth Plasma Shotgun, which seems to be basically what you use.

Turian Soldier with the Javelin is a close second.

Asari Vang/Adept. Stasis bubbles are just fun. Stasis bubbles + <insert other biotic power> is funner

Pretty much use the Scimitar/Predator for everything but I've been that way since ME2. Shotty Spam

Play the human vanguard from time to time for the lulz.

Any class with M-8 Avenger assault rifle with increase damage and capacity mods along with the M-6 Carnifex pistol with same mods.

This leaves a +72% recharge speed, can deal a tonne of damage and the pistol can still create the satisfying headsplosions.

I did try a sniper and pistol combo, not so good I find.

See, I think the lure of Turian Sentinel is the Overload/Warp combo with Tech Armor and a light weapon to help increase recharge speed. Something like an Avenger X. Then again, the Plasma Shotgun is amazing, so perhaps I'll give that a try. What powers do you use on your Turian?

Asari Vanguard so far, but I do like the Turian Sentinel. I mostly play the Vanguard with the stock shotgun, lots of Biotic Charge spam and well placed Lift Grenades if I've managed to flank a pack of enemies.

I run the Turian Sentinel with the Phaeston and a scope just for thematic purposes.

A Turian Sentinel with an Avenger X, Warp, Overload and Tech Armor is pretty solid IMO. They have reasonable damage reduction, their base shields start at 750 instead of 500, they get stability with Assault Rifles, decent cooldowns on powers since the Avenger X doesn't weight anything, and with the right spec on Overload and Warp, they have good damage and crowd control against any enemy type. This is the character I MOST want to unlock, but it hasn't happened yet. Bah!
