I'm not sure I'd recommend a warrior as a first character. They're the most gear dependent class in the game. On top of it the're aren't great at farming plat, traveling, or holding agro against everyone's twinked dps.
Starting tank will be harder than preist caster or dps. Unless you want to roll a tank -- its better to wait until you have a lot of money to level one. Shadowknight and Paladin are still difficult, but easier to start on than a warrior (and better group tanks).
If you want a list of classes that are good to be from starting naked to finishing in epics, my list would be:
Bard
Monk
Shaman
Monk is kind of annoying because of weight limitations and the fact that they are overplayed. But they are pretty decent naked and scale well with additional gear.
There are a lot of classes like Druid and Enchanter that are great naked...but they also don't get much better with lots of gear. So if you want a class that will keep getting noticeably better as you raid etc, I would pick one of the three I listed.
