Least class/spec on TBC

People always love shamans, bloodlust and totems are awesome. Other than that everything else is pretty even, I would say dps warrior and rogues are in low demand though

Presuming that you mean end-game, since leveling up is too fast to worry much about specs pre-70.
Generally speaking, tanks are sparse for 5-man content and in high demand; they are in less demand for raids (given the need for only 2-3 tanks per raid). Warriors are the premier raid tank, Paladins are in demand for certain AoE tanking situations (and in very high demand for raid-geared folk running 5-mans in order to merely AoE everything down without CC); Druids are usually desired in raids as offtanks due to their capability for easily switching to a mediocre cat dps form, and make for excellent 5-man tanks due to their naturally high damage output (making pulls go a tad faster).
Healers are in moderate demand for 5-man content, but there are enough around that it's rare to wait on one for too long. They are in high demand for raids, in general.
Various damage classes are desired for different situations (people will seek mage/warlock when they are doing speed AoE runs through 5-man dungeons; there are various raid mechanics that require certain CC abilities; 1-2 shadowpriests are always desired purely for mana-generation; etc.), but as a gross generalization, they are a dime a dozen.
The typical answer to these kinds of questions is that if you're desperate to find groups, play a hybrid class and sign up for dual-spec on the website. Druid, Paladin, and to some extent shamans and priests, are all extremely versatile and desirable for different aspects of the game.

You can never get enough ret pallys in TBC? :D
Jokes aside, play what makes you have fun. No sense in playing what other people need.

every raid (usually) wants 1 ret 1 arms 1(or more) shadowpriest purely for debuffs. shadowpriests are also mana pots

With an average population of 6k and 11k during peak hours while the experience rates are 5x, it's hard to say what class is being played the least.
Just play what's most "Fun" for you (isn't that the whole idea behind video games y'all?).
Also, it's natural for games like WOW to have more DPS and Less tanks because that's how the game is designed. For example, in the smallest raid / party, you have:
1x Tank
1x Healer
3x DPS
What if it's:
2x Tanks
2x Healers
1x DPS
It's pretty self explanatory.

Play resto shaman if you want a raid spot. You pretty much cannot have too many of them in a 25 man raid.

Can't go wrong with Warlock if you like to raid. Warlocks do very very good DPS in all content tiers and are very sought after. Easy to learn but hard to master in PvE and PvP (though in PvP you need a LOT of gear as a Warlock to succeed).

Hard to master in PvE? Bruh you push 1 button.

Only if you're the kind of player that thinks Destro is the only spec Warlocks have. Affliction is definitely viable, even a raid DPS increase due to Malediction and brings the 5% physical damage reduction + instant cast long range spammable snare (for Vashj for example). Then there's the Demonology specs (Felguard and 0/40/21), which do better personal DPS than Destruction all the way until Haste starts being common on items. Pretty sure nobody thinks Affliction and Demonology are not hard to master? ;)
