'and most important of all, is playing a ranger on this server even a good idea? '
Don't pick a Ranger if you want to level fast, or become an integral part of high-end raiding. The class isn't suited to either of those things.
If you're okay with those downsides, it will do fine (particularly in group content). It's mediocre to bad as a solo'er. Expect a certain level of ribbing from the community, as it's perceived as the weakest class.
Most Rangers dual wield, though you can use a 2H if you happen to find a particularly good one. 2H is particularly attractive from level 1-17, when you lack dual wield. In general, the Ranger tends to be regarded as a fun class to play.
