Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hi there! I've been playing since WotLK till WOD, never tried vanilla wow on any other server and I heard that this server is the best around. I don't know what class to roll on vanilla as it's alot different from what I'm used to and I need your help! I enjoy both PvE and PvP. I enjoy easy-medium difficulty while leveling. I don't like to play as a healer. I enjoy melee more than ranged ( except for hunter cuz that's what I mained since WotLK ). I enjoyed tanking more than DPS since Cata, I dunno if tanking is hard in vanilla so... yeah. If it's a DPS spec/class, I want it to have good-solid DPS.
What I heard about the classes:

• Druid: Mainly a healer.
• Hunter: Good DPS, easy leveling. Not op nor underpowered.
• Mage: Solid DPS, ooming alot?
• Paladin: Healer/Buff bot.
• Priest: Best healer.
• Rogue: Best DPS, OP, easy leveling, suffers from over population.
• Shaman: AoE healer.
• Warlock: Solid DPS, utility class.
• Warrior: Mainly a tank as it is the best tank, solid dps but idk if it will be accepted in PvE due to players wanting tanks more than dps, hard leveling.

I know that the answer is hidden in that list somewhere BUT I CAN'T SEE IT!

EDIT: So which is more suitable for me from these 4 classes? Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior.

You'be summarised all the classes why are you asking for someone else to pick for you?

tanking in vanilla is a completely different world than future expacks. tho its also more rewarding, not every one can do it.

The best option is warlock or hunter. Hunter has a more interesting rotation but mediocre dps in raids, while lock is spam shadowbolt all day but you will top the meters once you get to AQ/Naxx.

Be a rebel and roll a balance druid. No one will like you though.

tip nr. 1 roll a race you like
tip nr. 2 chose a class you enjoy
tip nr. 3 if you finde that you dont like the class you play reroll
