When choosing a class, I'm always thinking about what might be needed on the server. Generally I stay away from Warriors and Rogues because I know that they generally are the two most played classes, whereas Druids and Warlocks (at least on the Alliance side) seem to be under represented most often. This is always a bit annoying, as sometimes I really think I'd like to level a Warrior or Rogue, but don't do it because I don't want to hit 60 and have absolutely no chance of getting into a guild because there are already too many of them. I also don't want to choose a class I don't like based solely on being more "popular" on the server. So for people who roll the most played classes regardless of what people say is needed, how does it alter the experience of the game? Are you often left out of raids/dungeons? Do you struggle to get gear? If any of you have experience at 60 with different classes, did you notice a huge difference?

I have some level 60 friends, and I'm sure one of them will help me with the WW quest if I need it. Surely then it's worth doing?

Should I ditch Alchemy while leveling, and rather go Herb+Skinning? I have alchemy atm, but as you say I don't think it'll make me loads of gold, so maybe I'd be better off selling my herbs and going for skinning and selling that too.

So I have just started leveling a human warrior. What is very clear from early on, is how gear-reliant this class is! I'm speccing into the Fury tree, and planning on going two-hand fury at least until level 40. I'll be doing dungeons as both tank and Fury dps (whatever is needed at the time), and will go Fury at level 60. Now, to keep up with gear it's always tempting to go to the auction house, but at the same time I already know that I'll need all my gold for level 40, to get my mount. Therefore I need a good way to either get gear easily (other than questing and dungeons as I'm not sure that it'll be enough), and also earn plenty of cash while leveling. I have started leveling First Aid, Cooking, Alchemy and Herbalism. What are your best tips for keeping up with gear, and earning gold while leveling a warrior?
