I agree that starting a caster first is a very very good idea for any aspiring melee player. A druid or necro or shaman etc alt goes a long way for someone playing a melee.
You can get geared without one or the need for any plat very easily through raiding, but even then there's always that droppable item or two that you need & you'll thank yourself for having the farm class leveled beforehand when the day comes. PoM flowers are good examples; roll a necro first and getting them isn't even that bad.
Paladin will be a much easier road to go down than SK, if a new player were to roll one as their first character with no twinking.
