Hope this TuT helps.Your just mad cuz you dont understand the game 
You're guide is misleading, and in some points untrue, first one I noticed was saying warriors are healer dependent, enrage regen, victory rush=top'd along with shield wall and other cd's, aswell, they are the worst tank class in the game unless there is a lot of moving.
Hunters:
they are the best AoE class, not mage's
they are also top dps(99% of the time)
paladins if played correctly are op'd in damage. They are the best tank class. I kinda just skimmed a few of the classes.

So I know I'm kinda bouncing this thread xD But anyway, yeah I agree with most of it... But I do think that Pally Tanks are the best... Because, they aren't solely dependent on a healer. I know I've run a few dungeons without a healer (tanking as a pally) and I was fine... As well as them if played with a bit of thinking, are SUPER OP
Note that this is old and that classes get nerft now and then.
hunters volley got removed and instead they got multi shot but its not as powerful as volley so the best AoE is DK frost or a good fire mage.

But If A Mage Is Unsing Like Rain of Fire It Hits Like Every Second Or So Which is Taking More Damage Than The Multi Shot
Btw Nice Tutorial , But Some Of The Pro's And Con's Could Depend On Skill , Armour , and experience
nice class explanations im trying a priest out mainly for healing.
I have one thing to add I play paladins all the time and a Holy spec can do DPS with Exo Spam, and if they have all there CDs up they can do 10K+ DPS if fully geared. And also "Its a "2 button hero class", it doesnt give that much of a challenge in PvE
due to healing."??? Wtf? have you even played a level 85 Ret paladin or Prot Paladin? there heals take out 7-9K Mana per pop, and with only 23-30K mana fully geared there screwed on the heals.
"Lacks the overall damage that most classes have,at least on lower levels."<-- Also untrue, A Paladin can do as mush damage as a warrior or any class infact (Except Shaman cause there broken as Hell) at any level, especially the low levels!
"Able to heal in the middle of combat with out any casting time.
Able to solo bosses with ease." Also false about paladins, they cannot solo a boss easily(Unless they have BoA and you should know 80% of players dont have full BoA when starting a new Character) and they do have a casting time on heals, unless its LoH or WoG.
