New 3/4 -Boxer needs class advice

I am a brand new, as of 4 days ago, boxer. I want to thank everyone for the contributory posts that helped me get set up and rolling. I tried to restrain from posting so that you don't get bogged down with questions already answered in other posts but I feel like this is a question I need a consensus from the community on.

Well, I dual-boxed two priests to level 9 to get a feel of leveling and questing while boxing. I also made some trial accounts to experience what boxing 5 accounts was like.
All-in-all, two leaves something to be desired and 5 is playable but suffers a significant FPS drop, not to mention the extra cost per month.

So I decided to settle and at 3, maybe 4

One thing I did learn is that leveling the priest was a bit boring, so I'm not sure what I should do. I need a new class, and what I am looking for is two things:

Easy from the get go
Fun from start

Right now, I'm shifting between shaman, warlock, and moonkin
Some say warlock are very fun, many people praise the shamans. But I can't speak for either as I have never played either of the classes past level 20. However I have played a druid for a long time.

Opinions?

Also, another two quick questions so I do not need to make a second post.

How do you make customer character formation? Like a perfect line or a V shaped.
I have a G15 keyboard, are there any big advantages it could have for boxing? (I box from one computer)

I searched for it but what I read made no sense.

I like warlocks

I am doing 2 locks and a priest, and might pick up a 3rd lock for a total of 4.

I Solo leveled another lock and it was very easy (only the prot pally was easier or more fun). Running around dotting 4-5 mobs at level and then doing it 3-4 times before a break was insane leveling AND THAT WAS SOLO!!!

I can wait to get my little dudes higher. It will take longer to loot then it will to kill.

I never got a shaman past 18, I personally never really liked the play style. Many people here love them and some of the things they can do have me intrigued to the point where I might give them another try.

Use the search and read the wiki.

Both are really well talked about.

hunters

hunters are wicked cool and if you are on a pvp server they would be fun from day one.
sux is you die with an all hunter team but they don't die that often.

hunters are unique in that those damn arrows don't miss much, there isn't such a thing as a glancing blow with the arrow so you can kill stuff +6 & +7 over your team where spell casters and melee won't be able to scratch it.
I have a 5x hunter team and I've enjoyed them a lot. they are only level 43 but I did uldaman at 40 with no deaths.

I would urge you to reconsider running 5. Save up for a hardware upgrade if you need to.

Well, I think in the long run Shaman are where it's at atm. There's a reason it's a cookie-cutter.

I thought the shaman were fun enough from the start, but I've also heard a lot of positives about running hunters, and I can see how they'd be very powerful early. If that's all you care about, maybe hunters would work, but I think you'd regret no heals, res, wipe recovery, etc. later, but maybe that's just me.

I would recommend not worrying about this at first. Once you get a little experience creating all the macros you need, do another search and what you find will probably make more sense.

Simple answer is, you do all these formations by having the same key on each clone move in a different direction. A simple 5 man "plus" can be accomplished by binding a key (I use num-5) to move forward on clone1, strafe left on clone 2, strafe right on clone 3, move back on clone4, and do nothing on my main. Pretty simple.

No. In fact, I recommend you stifle any thoughts you have of using the g15 macros for anything in wow as you are skirting a fine line with the EULA. I have the same keyboard and I just don't so there's never a question.
