Also which is the most fun melee class in your opinions?
What my opinion has to do with YOUR conception of fun?
If I tell you that in my opinion, hitting your hand with an hammer is fun, would you do it?

Why else would you possibly want to know what the most fun melee class is? Please tell me you're not one of those people that will ask several people for their advice and then completely ignore it. Just delete this thread if you are, it's pretty pointless and we'll just use it to make fun of you.
Having said that, I'm liking a feral druid. Much more of a challenge than when my paladin was ret in TBC and even the 9696 rotation tanks use now. I also like that I can tank and dps with a single spec and offspec to be a healer.

I have played warrior of all standard speccs and probably nearly all useless speccs i could ever imagine also.
Fury is rather simple, 2 skill rotation, pop cds, look for a single procc and knowing when to use HS and cleave. Fury looks cool, is fun to gear for, but it is a bit too simple. You could basically just ignore the single procc and just use 2 buttons (whirlwind and bloodthirst) besides the cooldowns and queue hs/cleave whenever you feel like it (to predict your incoming rage and learning when and when not to is an artform) and still do descent damage, you wont do as good as someone who knows how to play, but it wont be bad. You can even click as fury and it works.
Arms on the other hand is nasty. Imagine a slightly less annoying version of feral cat. Still extremely annoying. "Keep rend up, 1/3 rage bar, should i use ms or slam? oooh execute procc, omg overpower procc, wtf rend is already out? I need to dump rage, queue HS, spam slam...now i have no rage and tcant do crap for 3,5secs, bladestorm, sweeping trikes wth?" Extremely much to look for, and without proper skill, or with lagg, or if you are a clicker arms fails.
Imagine that and being on sunder duty, keeping TC, demo and commanding up while not staying in fire, and you have a recipe for migraine.
Basically you need to never lagg, have keybindings and extremely fast reactions. When i play as arms i use bladestorm just so i can breathe for 6seconds.

Wildhorn, have fun hitting yourself with a hammer. I just wanted to know what other classes are like and what are your views on them. Since when did I ask for you to recommend me a class (despite the misleading thread title)?
Wildhorn wasn't saying "I hit myself with a hammer". He was alluding to the fact that our opinions on the topic you brought up are COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT and serve no purpose.
You didn't ask the community to recommend you a class. You asked our opinions on what's "most fun" to play. Which again, doesn't matter. Play what you want.

Ignore the heathens :P
imo ret paladins are great fun, if a bit boring.
I love my DW frost DK, and my two handed frost DK.
Unholy tanking is fun as well.
Rogues really depend on your spec imo, but i liked combat the most.
and lastly, i love tanking on prot paladins, its just great fun

Ok, from a Rogue:
Combat spec is good for hard hitting weapons, a good burst damage and supposedly tops the theoretical DPS limit. It is also a pretty simple rotation that takes a good bit of practice to get right but is not very tolerant to slip ups where your DPS is concerned. It basically has a couple of moves, 2 CDs that you need to keep up as close to absolutely constant as possible and some nice tricks. If you let one of your CDs drop, your DPS goes into the toilet pretty quick.
Mutilate spec is a bit more involved, includes a few more decision points than combat, doesn't do quite the burst DPS but will make very good DPS in longer fights. It is also very heavily weapon and poison dependent since a large amount of your damage comes from special ability usage. It is also, in my experience, somewhat more forgiving of slips in your rotation and it only has one CD to worry about.
Both will keep you busy, on your toes attention wise and are quite skill dependent for keeping your DPS up. No facerolling here or your DPS will clearly show it.
I just started a TH Frost DK and am having fun with it, though haven't a clue about rotations and such as literally, I have less than a week experience with it.
