I played the game for about a year. I had a lvl 60 rogue, a lvl 60 hunter and a lvl 40 Warlock.

Character really depends on what you want to do and what role you want to play in the endgame content. Meaning, when you get to the high levels pretty much all that is left to do is high level group raids and PVP (fighting against other charcters) . I did this with my rogue and had some pretty sweet gear.

If you want to do massive damage in hand to hand rogues are good. If you want to be the guy that is the tank and lets things pound on them while the party kills it a warrior is good. If you want to be the healer go druid, priest or paladin. If you want to be a caster then mage or warlock. The druid and shaman are kind of a mix of everything. they can wear decent armor and cast and heal. The hunter is a ranged damage character.

My advice:
If you just want to play by yourself and sometimes do group stuff then a hunter or warlock are probably best because you have a pet for help and you can do some decent damage (high level warlocks can do massive damage)

If you want to play more in a group, warrior and priest are great. When you get to the higher levels you will never find yourself waiting to get into a group as one of those two classes because everyone wants them.

I stopped playing the game a few months ago because it took up too much of my time. You can play the game casually, but it is time consuming just to do anything. If you log in and want to go somewhere it can take you 10-20 minutes just to get to a place on the map, especially at low levels when you have walk. When you get to the high levels a group raid can easily take 2-4 hours.
