Whatever you want to play.

Just for roles, I'd probably go with Paladin.

Guys he said
MAGE
not
SHAMAN
If you want to
TANK
I personally recommend a Paladin
If you want to
DPS
I can recommend a Fire mage. Fire sounds like it's a lot better then Arcane now a days, but with MoP Frost is the way to go. But personaly having a level 85 mage I am always going to stick with fire untill its nerfed till it's un-viable. Then I will take my chances with Frost. I will never, ever go arcane. But you can also go a Shadow Priest. I never checked any videos about them though in MoP but right now they are OP for PvE.
If you want to
HEAL
you can try a Paladin or a Priest.
Personally I will just go with a mage. I have always loved mages. But my first class I ever played was a Warrior. Personally thats the best starter class.
But through typing all of this. It doesn't matter what class you start with. All classes have their ups and downs to playing them. It takes a while to find a class that you really like and can play well with. Some people get it on their first character, others it may takes 2 or 3, others all 10 classes. For me it was my 4th character which as you can tell is my mage. But recently I have been sticking to my rogue or paladin. But my mage is the most geared of all.

Paladin: They can fulfill every role.

Paladin: They can fulfill
almost
every role.
Fixed. They can't do range dps, only Druids can do all of them.

And Shamans
That said, I've always felt Draenei Warlocks were kinda imba...

Since they can wear mail and use sheilds?

It only means they can equip shields and wear mail armor, it doesn't mean they can tank.

You ever tried it?

Yes, you can't effectively tank as a shaman. Just like you can't effectively tank as a Fury war that just throws on a shield. You might be able to get away with it at lower levels, but if you try to do anything at your level, it won't work.

At level, my Shaman tanked Ragefire Chasms, Shadowfang Keep, and Scarlet Monestary.
Also at level, my Warrior used to DW-tank Wrath normals.

Why do you do this? You know at low levels you can tank anything if you have good enough gear. At level cap, which is what I meant, a Shaman can't tank anything effectively like any of the real tank specs can.
Also, no more discussing this. You're making it go off topic.

Until you can tank a heroic raid at current level on a Shaman, for the purpose of this thread we're going to say they can't tank. Otherwise, Mages can tank - I'm sure through RFC they would be fine with a priest eh.

I don't know if you guys knew this but Shaman's used to be great tanks back in Wotlk and previous stuff. Untill blizzard took that away from them because they don't want a mail tank but they have leather tanks..
