Torn on decided what class to play as first character.

[Naprox]

Hi,

I find myself having difficulty in choosing a class. I'm generally a group oriented player that played a Druid as my main back in the day, but I found after PoP, druids where seldom used in group settings as backup healers so the fear of repeating that situation when I get to raiding level makes me hesitate.

I also had a friend/co-worker who played a shaman named Lemonade Icy, who impressed me so much that I wouldn't mind trying out that class.

I guess my real question is what would be the most group friendly class to play, but still be able to solo efficiently as a last resort, when nobody was available for grouping?
