My tauren shaman was amazing in his early days, enhancement tree was seriously overpowered...big windfury hits made me smile, and I did a lot of work in the battlegrounds running flags, made Warlord (but couldn't be arsed to put the grind in to become a High Warlord, would have been another 4 weeks!).
Early day WoW pre-arena was definitely its best days. No horde paladins, no alliance shamenzes.
Big fan of instances too, the death of WoW for me was death knights - how fun is PvP when you're just yanked into 30 enemy and zerged? That and Blizzard nerfing the difficulty of raids so that everyone could do them in terrible gear.
If I had a computer that would run WoW at the moment I'd give it a go. A link to their site would be awesome for others
