If you like instances, a tank + healer is a good route.
They not have Dungeon Finder, and you can queue for dungeons as a group with the rest of the roles filled in from other random players.
Tanks and Healers are naturally more rare than DPS.

Ideally, classes which can go 2x DPS for questing.
And 1x Heals and 1x Tanking for instances.

If you want to PvP, than double range or double melee is probably better.

Tanking options include:
- Paladin
- Druid
- Warrior
- Death Knight (requires a level 55+ toon on the same account)

Healing options include:
- Shaman
- Druid
- Paladin
- Priest

Of these, if you were to PvP, the Druid is the only tank that can be a ranged DPS.
The Druid, Shaman and Priest can dual-spec ranged DPS as well.

If you want to go PvE dungeons, anthing from list one and anything from list two would work.

I'd probably go dual-Druids because they can play all four roles.
Heals, Tank, Melee-DPS and Ranged-DPS.



Definitely take advantage of the Recruit a Friend promotion.
Very fast 1st to 60th leveling.
And bonus levels granted to the parent account.

Assuming you can afford it and are interested...
Take a look at 4-boxing or 5-boxing.
That is a lot more power for PvP.
And is an entire group for PvE.
It opens up a lot of combinations to play with.



Consider what software you want to box with.
