I thought it would have been interesting to have some sort of Shape shifter or animagus class.
The functionality is there - imagine the Shaman bearform AA but expanded. At base, they would be monklike - hand to hand, some sort of standard extra attack like Kick, with decent melee skills (DW, DA, Dodge, Block), and leather armor. Then there would be a few animal forms to which they could transform.
Bear - very much like the shaman AA, but also gives mitigation and tanking ability. Something like +X HP, +Y heavy AC, +Z% Defense, and grants a proc just like the shaman one (disease dot or whatever, something with good aggro).
Wolf/Cat - +X ATK, +Y% DA, DW, H2H. A more damage oriented proc - again some sort of DoT without the aggro component.
Then some utility forms, that might grant some sort of stealth or speed or water breathing, such as an bird, fish, etc, that don't grant any sort of melee bonuses.
The idea would be similar to WoW Feral druids, but vasty simplified, so that there would be some class with a more hybrid Tank/DPS form.
