Hello!
I want a new char to really play through the patches and raid on Frostmourne. I want it to have much needed utilities in raids and be a strong member of a well built raiding roaster.
I've been hearing Shadow Priest, Boomkin, and Elemental Shamies a lot these days. All of these a great and I can't really decide between them.
Any suggestions?
Not sure I would put this in support q and a, but to help you out:
Tanks and healers are always in demand. For tanks, pala and dk.
For dps, boomies, spriests,hunters,rogues,warlocks(demo). Generally speaking rdps are in higher demand than mdps, but rogues have nice threat generation for tanks that set them apart from other melee classes.
In the end you should play what you enjoy the most imo. But if you are worried about overplayed or less useful classes/specs I would say:
Fury warrior (overplayed)
Mage (doesn't bring a lot to the table- no ironic pun intended
Rdudu (I personally notice a lot of them, but it's just one of those specs that frequently get left out of 10 man runs)
DPS Shaman (Anything they can do other classes can do better, and rshaman can do anything the other classes can't)
Prot warrior (just don't)
Beyond these I don't see any serious issues with finding spots, and even those listed classes you can still get slots it will just be harder to do so. I would throw hpriest in here too but they are good, just most people don't think to include them in their groups so you will rarely see them being asked for. That being said, as one who raids in high end guilds most of the time, I see them used a lot in elite play.
