I don't think any ONE unit is mandatory for a party, but the different roles are:
Tank - Something with High health and defense, hopefully good resistances too. Best if rezzable, but not always necessary.
Control - A unit that can remove a problem stack from combat. Ogres, Dryads, Shamans, etc.
DPS - Unit that does a lot of damage, generally without giving the enemy the ability to retaliate. Supports the tank, tries not to ever take damage. (Vampires, Royal Snakes, Fairies, Archers, etc)
Summon - Units that can create summons to take blows, draw out retaliations, and null spells. (Dryads, Royal Thorns, Chosha's, Royal Griffons)
Healer - Unit to heal or ressurrect tanks and DPSers. Hopefully never is attacked directly
A lot of the best units will do multiples of these roles. For instance:
Demonologists: Summoner/Healer
Royal Griffon: Summoner/Tank
Paladin: Healer/Tank (Self rezzing tank!)
Dryad: Summoner/Control
Evil Beholder: Control/DPS
Dragons: Tank/DPS
Ogre: Tank/Control
It gives you a good idea for why they do what they do so well.
