Mage, Necro, Druid are typically considered "easy mode" classes.

Of the three, Mage is probably the easiest at the moment.

Quick overview:

Druids can get around the recent DoT damage reduction on moving targets by root rotting and they also have GREAT mobility. They run into problems with mana regeneration however.

Necros have some of the best mana regen in the game combined with pet + very powerful DoTs AND the extra survivability of feign death make them pretty awesome. They can also get around the DoT damage reduction on moving targets by fearing their targets (necros don't get root until much later). Fear can be tricky though if you're just starting out.

Mages are just pretty awesome. as long as you can single pull, you should be able to take out pretty much anything in your level range. Just send in your Fire pet (remember to nuke at least once toward the end of the fight) and make sure he's got Damage Shield on him and stuff will die pretty quicky. Mana regeneration is tough just like with druids but most mages spend less mana since the majority of their damage is coming from their pet and not their spell. The biggest problem I've seen with mages is their lack of survivability. If you manage to bite off a little more than you can chew, you're pretty much boned.
