Shaman hands down.

If you are only talking about party buffs, you can't go wrong with a paladin. Between replenishment, blessings, haste, and imp-demo shout, they bring a lot.
Boomkin druids are also very good. Crit aura, Spellpower, -hit for boss, 3% hit debuff. Also Mark and Innervate.

Ranged dps are usually more sought after because more people seem to play melee dps classes.
The best ranged dps in terms of buffs given is Moonkin.
They give: 5% spell crit, minor armor debuff and 3% spell hit, GotW (more stats and armor), and battle rez.
2nd best is Elemental Shaman.

Pretty much this.
Thank god I fill one of those roles as the Feral Druid.
Blood DK isn't half bad for a desirable party dps either (+10% AP, possible Rune Tap healing, Mark of Blood if specced...etc). To boot, they also tend to not generate a large amount of aggro.

Depends on your raid makeup...
Melee Heavy:
MM Hunter (+10% AP)
Feral Druid (+5% crit)
DK (+20% melee haste)
Caster Heavy:
Moonkin Druid (+13% spell damage, +5% crit)
Elemental Shaman(Totem of Wrath, +3% crit)
Actually, you can cross MM hunter off the list because the Blood DK buff AND the Enhance Shaman buff both overwrite it. (I know, it kinda sucks)
Also, Unholy DK works pretty well in caster heavy groups due to Ebon Plague.

But then wouldn't a blood dk work well too because of abomination's might and horn of winter?
How does Abomination's Might (+10% AP) and Horn of Winter (+Strength and Agility) work well in a
caster
-heavy group?

-3% chance to hit for the boss - Unique
Frost DK's have a talent for that iirc. Therefore not unique

All hunters can do -3% to hit (

)
Still it's probably: shaman > boomkin = feral (depending casters or melee) > others
People will take shaman in terrible gear just for hero ... but usually to raid, not 5-man party.

what would you guys rank as the top-3 most sought after DPS classes
1. People who know wtf they're doing. Really really well.
2. People who love what they do.
3. People who are so well-versed in their class, role, and the mechanics of the fight that they make others better.
Obvious answer, I realize. But if I'm looking for one more dps to fill a group, I look first to my list of quality players that know & love what they do. Only if that list is dry do I consider people based on class. It is a very rare situation (Heartbreaker, 3d zerg) do I insist that we have a special group composition. Mature play ftw.

I think I saw one complete correct post so far...men people should first do some freaking research themself before making things like that.
For a castergroup with already an ele shaman I would go for either spriest or mage.
Lock are about the same as a mage realy but a lot of casterleaders wil have somthing like: lock or mage? A pff, the mage, he can give me water while he's at it".
Minor armor debuff - druids - warriors
Sunder armor is not exacly minor...

The OP clearly asked for classes.

i believe what paolo is saying is to bring the player not the class.
also dont forget locks in all this, affliction has shadow embrace which reduces healing done by the target by 15% and it can stack twice, all locks can do
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=47865
destro brings replenishment, also soul stones and healthstones, imp brings blood pact which increases everyones health, fel hunter brings increased spirit and intelect and locks can summon demo locks bring demonic pact which improves dps in a caster heavy group and destro locks also have shadowfury if they've specced for it, which in certain situations is handy
