 post_class() function is only adding `.sticky` class when `is_home()` is
 true, basically
 > ...if the query is for the blog homepage.
 [http://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_home/ is_home()
 reference]

 Check out [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes
 /post-template.php#L512 the code] in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/post-
 template.php#L461 get_post_class()] function

 {{{
 #!php
 512             // sticky for Sticky Posts
 513             if ( is_sticky( $post->ID ) ) {
 514                     if ( is_home() && ! is_paged() ) {
 515                             $classes[] = 'sticky';
 516                     } elseif ( is_admin() ) {
 517                             $classes[] = 'status-sticky';
 518                     }
 519             }
 }}}

 This behavior complicates recognizing sticky post when using custom
 queries, as they're mostly used outside of homepage, which fails
 `is_home()` check, requiring extra work to add `.sticky` class where it
 should be.

 I suggest removing the `is_home()` check from the condition in
 `get_post_class()` function.
