I have to say wrath is looking amazing. However priests are looking pretty dull at the moment, it looks like druids are going to be the fotm healers for the expac.
I might reactivate my account to play my Warlock though, the afflic tree looks AMAZING.
Truthfully paladin and warrior tanks were close to the same on TPS at higher levels of gear don't know too much about druids. They just buffed all threat abilities in general, because salv is going bye bye. In raids everyone always had salv so it wasn't much of a problem and raids are what they continue to design pve elements around.
Quick explanation of my viewpoint on tanking in wrath: Prot war tanks actually deal quite a bit of dps while tanking now. Warrior abilities in BC rely on elevated threat moves while paladins and bears rely on damage and self threat buffs. Now warriors are going to rely on damage to do threat like bears This means prot warriors aren't going to be useless if they're not tanking. Blizz states they want prot warriors in DPS gear to be doing around 5% less dps than fury warriors. Once again making sure you don't have to stack raids around certain classes, like having a bear offtank/kitty dps druid. Now either will be a viable option.
I'm pretty sure paladins will remain the kings of aoe tanking but DKs are looking pretty spiffy. However I haven't played one yet but from the mechanics I can see them being decent all around tanks and the best anti-magic tanks despite what Blizz says about equal viability in all tanking situations. I'm a little dissapointed in warrior tanking however, they seem an expac behind. Now they can hold threat on more than 2 targets and don't have gimp dps, these don't seem like super cool changes considering they were a problem during all of BC, they just seem more like fixes.
Me, i used to play WoW.
I had:
70 Protection orc warrior (bt/hyjal/swp gear)
70 Enhancement tauren shaman (heroic/kara/za gear)
70 Holy undead priest (ssc/tk gear)
70 Holy human paladin (za/ssc/tk gear)
and various 47 alts.
and i really could not care less about the expansion, PRE-BC was and is still win.
