Shaman is the best starting class.

Pick whatever class you think is going to be the most fun and whatever character model you think looks the best. It's an extremely long road to 60.

And yeah, I do remember how my role was mostly giving mana or even patch healing in some group on him. Luclin fight where longer and made Necro a bit better DPS-wise. PoP is when I became a real damage dealing class.

Shaman and SK where on my list. Druid, is probably the only caster I,ve never even hitted 30. It might be my memory that is crap. But I just always felt that having a druid in your group was more detrimental then helping.

But if shaman are so common they aren't needed in groups or raid. I might go SK.
Sk is a solid choice. Can fd if fast afks needed. Can fear kite for extremely efficient killing and can get around pretty easy having both types of invis as well. I’d recommend troll for solo. Regen / stats are great and having slam makes fear kiting a lot more tolerable with a nice 2h wep. Final 2 pets are really nice as well.

There's a ton of them at the high end and I'm not sure most raids will need 8 shamans so you might be asked to switch but for leveling I haven't seen that many LFG. Heals + haste/slows are always in demand. Worst case scenario you can always duo/trio with melees for probably better exp.

Surprised no one has suggested Druid.

because druid, although fun to charm animals, is just a potg/port bot class

Just do warrior, get a bow and 2hander and joust your way to 60. Saw some streamer who did it solo self found and he seemed to do it no problem. Atleast warriors are played actively late game.
