Hm I don't know. I play a Night Elf Druid though, and I'd say Druids are one of the best at soloing- they take a long time to kill stuff, but they are the masters of surviving. Healing, Tank form, Stealth form, Travel forms... etc etc

Hard to Kill. Just like Steven Seagal. ;)

Take a long time to kill things? What level are you? Cat form druids kill fast.

I'd say hunter of any race. I actually enjoyed soloing with my human priest though, even though it took a long time.

Hunter and Warlocks both make great soloists. Keep in mind they are both very popular classes though, and if you decide you want to group or raid you will face allot of competition for group spots.

If you want survivability, I'd go with a Prot-Spec Paladin. You can deal decent damage and take more punishment than any other class in the game. It may not be the fastest, but you can take on 3 mobs and once and not have a problem as long as you heal. You will be tanking in instances, and considering that there are only two other real tanking classes in the game (Druid and Warrior), you won't have trouble finding a spot in raids or instances. You can also switch to Holy if you desire, as Holy Paladins are also a hot commodity end game.

If you want speed and effectiveness, however, I'd say Warlock. I'd go with Affliction and abuse Howl of Terror/Fear while you DoT all the mobs and have your Imp out for the extra health. Use Drain Life to get health back, and Life Tap to get your mana back. Load up on all the stanima gear you can get your hands on and you'll be good to go.

If you feel like it, you can switch to Demonology spec at lvl 50 and use the Felguard. They are the only pets that can really tear through enemies quickly, and combined with your DoTs, you'll plow through mobs while maintaining a safe distance.
