necromancer could be good...3 trees based off diablo2 necro alittle, poison tree could be mage like except with nature dmg, 2nd tree summoning easy enough, 3rd tree would of course be bone....which could be done as a tank tree with using channeling spells to gain threat and deal damage, if anything it would be different from other types of tanking and we can always need more.
lorewise you can just say casters that became deathknights and were not suited for melee combat and focused on spells. you can have them start in acheros hold or even in crystalsong woods in northrend as part of the kirin tor, heck they could all be ex kirin tor.
Necromancers already exist in Warcraft.
cleric would be the next class: simple one healing tree, caster tree like a mage but with holy and arcane mix, final tree could be a melee dps or be a 2nd healing tree. i would make the healing spells with more channeling to make it alittle different from other healers.
Clerics(hey look there here too)
rangers its been said we need a pure archer class, but i'd add a tree where you have a thrown weapon. i miss the troll spear throwers from wc3
High/Blood Elf Rangers

Night Elf Rangers

Right... and just like the Death Knight is based off a combination First and 2nd Generation of the Death Knight class existing in Warcraft 2 and 3, the other would as well, instead of being based off something from Diablo and the like. The class set up does already exist in the Warcraft RPG books after all.

I don't want to be combative, but I can't see the difference between a Warlock and a Necromancer. Sure, the Necromancer could be more undead based, but they missed the train on that. Death Knights are more iconic to that role because of their inclusion, plus what does a Necromancer really offer to balance the situation of too many dps, not enough healers and tanks? Don't forget that Necromancer-ish abilities were given to Death Knights to compensate for the Death Knights winning the hero class in Wrath of the Lich King.

I'd like to see a whole new faction. The forsaken. (I think wow took it a little far with its lore, so if this doesn't fit in just speak up, all I'm going off here is the wrathgate cinematic) This is extremely unlikely, but I think it would definitely be cooler having it not just you vs the other. But you vs another vs another. Again, this is extremely unlikely considering wow has always been horde vs alliance, every bg would have to be redesigned, not to mention new zones and quest hubs. Just saying what I think would be cool.
PVP would be a nightmare on a three team system. The Forsaken are also the 'evil' race(have you seen what Sylvanas is up to in Cata... yeah, I hear a Lich Queen in the works....).

That's not what a Demon Hunter is. Demon Hunters are warriors that hunt demons.
Next hero class,
if there is one
, will likely be a Healer/Caster DPS class, but it won't/shouldn't be arch-<already existing class>.

It's probably more of a cross between rogue / warrior.

Nah. Demon Hunters never wore heavy armor (in fact, almost all of them wore kilts exclusively.) They are more like Rogue + Warlock than anything.

No it's not, in WoW a
Demon Hunter
is someone who have made a deal with a demonic entity in order to use fel magics against demons, effectively fighting fire with fire.
Edit: How about this? They're combat destruction (+Demon form) fury warriors? It doesn't really matter, they're their own class.

Hmm, I must have misinterpreted the Wowpedia article.

Steam punk already exists in the Warcraft universe, both for those who enjoy it and those who hate it.
Tinker

Engineer
Steam Warrior
Techno Mage
And the one who hates it;
Techslayers.

Though I don't see that class going too far outside the Gnome/Goblin races... sure, other races do engineering, but come on... its really a Gnome/Goblin thing.
It could still work, but I'm sure various fanboys would be frothing at the mouth for one reason or another (that being said: When do they/we not?).

pvp tank
Last I checked, players can choose who to hit, being immune to taunts and obviously having no threat table.
Main stats: agility and stamina base (tank w/ agi ftw), they don't deal w/ mana
Druids are Agi tanks, mostly. What power would they use? Abilities have to have a cost.
"Something new": can dual wield shields, new one-handed slot shields
It's an mildly interesting concept. Not really feasible though.
