Paladin might be cool for a first PvP character because they're tough and can heal/Lay Hands, so you'll have time to take some action before dying and gain some PvP exp.
Rogues get more kills than paladins, and it is very satisfying and empowering to be able to do that. Also, rogue is a more needed raiding character (can't have too many) so that alone will get people to support you.
Lastly, I recommend having a druid or wizard alt, or enchanter or necro if you prefer. These classes have ports/gate, can farm, are less gear-dependent, and can solo. If there are no groups available for one character, switch to the other. Fun and progress is available either way!
