On the Wu Jen, I honestly haven't reviewed their list enough to say for sure whether they're T2 or 3. They don't have enough options to be T1, so it's just a question of whether a DM would have to seriously alter a campaign (either in rules, agreements, or plot) to keep them from blowing things out a bit, or not.

Wu Jen is Missing more than I want it to be, and while it can Scry and Die, it can't defend itself from it like the wizard can, its lacking in Necromancy, Divination, and area illusions outside of the silent-persistant image line, nightime base spells, and outsider removal. Missing Explosive Runes on the broken spell front. I have to say tier 2, it can't play rocket tag like the wizard can. It still gets enough breadth of spells that it isn't going to fall much behind a core sorcerer.
As for adding spells to its spell list the Spell Compendium says "Add spells with element (except air), wood, and metal themes." pg 4.
One issue I have is that soulborns may have a good level of versitility, so they might be tier 4. I just discount them heavily due to the other incarnum classes.
Um what? I love the totemist... but I feel no love for the soulborns. It's like a wimpy pally
The other incarnum classes blow soulborn out of the water. If your going to test out a new system your not going to play a class that barely touches that system is what I meant. But I'm going to take a close look at soulborn and see what it can do.
