Regarding the Heavy, I think it depends. In most games, especially on consoles, you're dealing with people thrown together who aren't even attempting to work as a team.

BUT, in the rare cases you have a solid unit, Heavy/Medic, Pyro, Soldier, Spy combo is devastating. Hell, just a Heavy/Medic and Spy is devastating to any set of defenses is run correctly.

As for the difficukty argument, I sympatize with the controls adding difficulty if they're just difficult, but the console controls for TF2 are VERY balanced. Personally, I can't roll Sniper and be any good. I'm just not that dextrous. But I've played against Snipers who were nigh untouchable on the 360, to the point that one Sniper has changed the way a game of 2Fort or Dustbowl is played as they can pick apart people in mid-air even.

If you can master the controls, its not simply difficult because of the controls, it becomes a part of mastery of those controls. My mind is more strategic than twitchy, so my talents lie in interesting offensive sentry placement. Ever get a fully upgraded sentry/dispenser and teleport up right outside the main spawn point of your enemy in 2Fort? I have... and its both hard as hell and HILARIOUS when you succeed.
